Abstract
The influence of bacterial strains Bacillus parabrevis S2 and Bacillus cereus ZS on the formation and growth of crystals in supersaturated C aCO3 solutions with and without bacteria under static incubation was s tudied. The crystal formation on the surface of the solutions and the bottom of vessels was observed with optical and electron microscopy an d electron microanalysis. The applied bacterial strains supported the formation and growth of CaCO3 crystals as well as the formation of a t hin film on the surface.
