There is a compelling economic incentive to develop concrete materials that can repair its
own damage, increase durability and prevent structural failure. This research investigated …

Abstract Background The ureolytic bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii is well-known for its
capability of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), representing a great potential …

Current production of traditional concrete requires enormous energy investment that
accounts for approximately 5 to 8% of the world's annual CO2 production. Biocement is a …

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a relatively green and sustainable soil
improvement technique in which by-products of a chemical reaction network managed and …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is currently appraised to improve sandy
soils, but only a few studies use it to solidify loess soil. MICP solidification tests and …

The advantages of microbial induced carbonate mineralization for soil-stabilization and
building-material industries are under extensive investigation. The pH is one of the …

Abstract Aims Characterization of alkaliphilic Bacillus species for spore production and
germination and calcite formation as a prelude to investigate their potential in microcrack …

Compared with microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation, enzymatically induced
carbonate precipitation is not restricted by microorganisms. Urea concentrations, calcium …

A low production rate for calcium carbonate with microbial solidification technology at low
temperatures often restricts its application. For this reason, adding urea to the medium and …

Bio-cementation is currently appraised to solidify sandy soils, but only few studies use it to
cement loess soil particles. The effects of the addition of loess soils on bacterial growth …
