Biological carbon dioxide sequestration potential of Bacillus pumilus

Bacillus pumilis was isolated and identified from limestone and the ability towards carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration was demonstrated. B. pumilus (S3 SC_1), isolated from Gua Tempurung, Gopeng, Perak was able to form calcite in the presence of calcium ions. B. pumilus was successfully characterize...
