Abstract  As known so far, Sporosarcina pasteurii, or formally termed as Bacillus pasteurii, was considered as one of the most efficient biosystem which is capable of inducing biological mineralization through breaking down urea. Taking advantage of the ‘super power’ of bio-mineralization, Sporosarcina pasteurii has been successfully utilized in application of solidifying sand as a novel biological construction technology, termed as ‘bio-cementation’. Due to the nature of Sporosarcina pasteurii isolated from soil, non-pathogenicity has been observed, it was considered as a very environmentally friendly method. Recently, Sporosarcina pasteurii has been further applied into fields including environmental improvement and biomedicine. However, the mechanism under the strong Sporosarcina pasteurii mediated bio-mineralization is still not well understood. Here, the knowledge and the up-to-date studies about the biological mechanism of Sporosarcina pasteurii mediated bio-mineralization, and the utilization in construction, environment, and biomedicine are reviewed.
