Bacterial Carbonate Precipitation Using Active Metabolic Pathway to Repair Mortar Cracks

A study was conducted to check the efficacy of microbial pathways for calcite precipitation to heal pre-existing cracks in mortar. In this experiment, realistic cracks of varying widths were induced on a mortar sample. Different repair methods were applied to a total of 22 mortar samples. Twelve cra...
