Unveiling the role of microbial rease in ureolysis-induced calcium carbonate precipitation, Its mechanistic insights, and emerging applications.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) is a metalloenzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbamate, playing a pivotal role in numerous biotechnological applications. Initially sourced from plants (such as Canavalia ensiformis), followed by bacteria (Sporosarcina pasteurii, Bacillus subtilis), fungi (Aspergillus niger), and cyanobacteria, urease has become increasingly significant across a wide range of sectors. This review explores the diverse origins of urease, its intricate catalytic mechanisms, and the regulatory roles of accessory genes that modulate its activity. Special emphasis is placed on microbial ureases and its applications in agriculture, heavy metal remediation, clinical diagnostics, and geotechnical engineering. The review also investigates ureolysis-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (UICP), with a focus on the environmental and biochemical factors that influence this process. A comparison between microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is provided, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations. Additionally, recent advancements in optimizing UICP through machine learning techniques are discussed, aiming to enhance process efficiency and scalability. Overall, this review underscores the substantial potential of urease-driven technologies in offering sustainable solutions across a variety of industrial and environmental applications.
