Application of bacteria as self-healing agent for the development of sustainable concrete

TL;DR: In this article, a specific group of alkali-resistant spore-forming bacteria related to the genus Bacillus was selected for this purpose, and the bacterial spores directly added to the cement mixture remained viable for a period up to 4 months.

Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) and Its Potential in Bioconcrete: Microbiological and Molecular Concepts

TL;DR: Urea hydrolysis is the most applied in concrete repair mechanisms and is clearly evident that microbiological and molecular components are essential to improve the process and performance of bioconcrete.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and identification of bacteria to improve the strength of concrete.

TL;DR: Experiments revealed that bacterial concrete specimens showed enhancement in compressive strength and healing of cracks can be attributed to the filling of cracks in concrete by calcite which was visualized by scanning electron microscope.
