Journal ArticleDOI
Prebiotics: Definition, Types, Sources, Mechanisms, and Clinical Applications
Dorna Davani-Davari,Manica Negahdaripour,Iman Karimzadeh,Mostafa Seifan,Milad Mohkam,Seyed Jalil Masoumi,Aydin Berenjian,Younes Ghasemi +7 more
TL;DR: Health benefits of prebiotics and their safety, as well as their production and storage advantages compared to probiotics, they seem to be fascinating candidates for promoting human health condition as a replacement or in association with probiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconcrete: next generation of self-healing concrete
TL;DR: The microbial self-healing approach prevails the other treatment techniques due to the efficient bonding capacity and compatibility with concrete compositions, and its potential for long-lasting, rapid and active crack repair, while also being environmentally friendly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation: a widespread phenomenon in the biological world
Mostafa Seifan,Aydin Berenjian +1 more
TL;DR: The detailed metabolic pathways, including ammonification of amino acids, dissimilatory reduction of nitrate, and urea degradation (ureolysis), along with the potent bacteria and the favorable conditions for precipitation of calcium carbonate, are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced calcium carbonate precipitation using Bacillus species.
TL;DR: It was noticed that the morphology of microbial calcium carbonate was mainly affected by the genera of bacteria (cell surface properties), the viscosity of the media and the type of electron acceptors (Ca2+).
Journal ArticleDOI
