Microbial concrete: Way to enhance the durability of building structures

Natural processes, such as weathering, faults, land subsidence, earthquakes, and human activities, create fractures and fissures in concrete structures that can reduce the service life of the structures. A novel strategy to restore or remediate such structures is biomineralization of calcium carbona...
