Introduction . Concepts describing bacterial effects on mineral formation and, first of all, on the formation of carbonate deposits, started to appear late in the 19th century both in Russia and globally. The precipitation of materials was demonstrated to take place directly at the sedimentation stage and continue in the formed precipitate during diagenetic processes. Research in this direction has recently intensified. Rocks and their constituent parts formed as a result of bacterial activity h
