    • Abstract:
      Several dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria and a halophilic bacterium are able to induce manganese carbonate (rhodochrosite) precipitation. In this study, it was revealed that Ensifer adhaerens JCM 21105T, Microbacterium testaceum JCM 1353T, Pseudomonas protegens DSM 19095T, and Rheinheimera texasensis DSM 17496T, which are calcite-forming bacteria, were able to aerobically induce the precipitation of manganese carbonate crystals on an agar medium. In the case of all four strains, the principal morphology of the precipitated manganese carbonate crystals was that of micro-sized spheres, when they were aerobically cultivated over the entire surface of the agar medium at 28 °C for 7 days.
