Surfactant can reduce the interfacial tension in liquid–gas system and may probably improve the rate and/or extent of dissolution. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three different surfactants (viz., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Triton X-100, and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC)) on CO₂biomineralization by two ureolytic microorganism—Sporosarcina pasteurii and Bacillus megaterium. In S. pasteurii-mediated biomineralization, headspace CO₂content (2.5 mM) was decreased by 40, 52, and 68 % in the presence of SDS, Triton X-100 or CTAC, respectively within the first 8 h of incubation. CO₂removal with B. megaterium in the presence of Triton X-100 (64 %) and CTAC (56 %) was better in comparison to control without surfactant (48 %). However, appreciable CO₂depletion was not observed with SDS, which was just 4 %. On other hand, headspace CO₂loss in the presence of CTAC with B. megaterium did not get biomineralized, as no calcium carbonate was detected. Crystalline phase and morphology of CaCO₃precipitate also varied between ionic and nonionic surfactants. The result suggests that the effect of surfactant on CO₂capture and biomineralization can be largely different, depending on the surfactant and concerned microbial species involved.
