Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Soil Treatment Using Calcium Carbonate Precipitation from Cultivated and Lyophilized Bacteria in Soil’s Compaction Water

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a bio-inspired solution where bacteria metabolize urea to precipitate. This carbonate acts as a bio-cement that bonds soil particles. The existing framework has focused mainly on applying MICP through infiltration of liquid bacterial solutions in e...
