What benefits of Bacillus pasteurii have been cited in the scientific literature?
Research reports that Bacillus pasteurii exhibits a biocementation potential sixfold higher than native ureolytic microbial communities, inducing calcium carbonate crystals of 5–40 µm predominantly in the calcite phase — a finding relevant to anyone comparing Sporosarcina pasteurii MICP efficiency against other ureolytic strains.

2Potential claims from the literature
Reported to exhibit a biocementation potential sixfold higher than native ureolytic microbial communities, inducing calcium carbonate precipitation with smaller CaCO3 crystals (5–40 µm) predominantly in the calcite phase
Reported to mediate microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) for soil biocementation and ground improvement applications
Reported to precipitate greater than 95% of available calcium as calcite within 12 hours of incubation in NB-NH4Cl medium
Reported to grow in soil water extracts containing increasing concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (TOC = 0.035–35 mg L⁻¹) with no negative effects on cell membrane stability, and to successfully hydrolyse urea within 24 hours when bioaugmented into hydrocarbon-polluted soil
