Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) offers a promising biological approach to sequester atmospheric CO₂ as stable mineral carbonates, mitigating climate change impacts. This perspective highlights the complexity underpinning prokaryote-driven biomineralization processes, emphasizing the necessity for holistic evaluation beyond simple carbonate formation.
