Popis: The estimation of optical density (OD) with viable cells is challenging for engineering purposes. In this study, the OD conversion based on previous study was used. The inhibited and retarded behavior of the microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) process was examined. The experimental results showed that high Ca2+ drastically influences the inhibited and retarded behavior on MICP processes. The analysis showed that the inhibition and retardation effects occurred when the Ca2+/OD loading rate exceeded 8.46 M. The critical value was equal to the proportional constant for obtaining carbonate precipitation rate (CPR) from OD. Due to this, the blending design of materials became possible, with no risk of inhibition. In conclusion, the inhibition and retardation of the MICP process are governed by the Ca2+ load and the linear standard line (LSL), which may be attributed to the capacity or tolerance of viable cells, i.e., CPR/OD = 8.46 M or Ca2+/OD = 8.46 M.
