For more than two decades, with steadily increasing intensity, the focus of scientific
research, mainly on the laboratory scale but also in the field conditions, has been the …

In their natural habitats, organisms encounter numerous external stimuli and must be able to
sense and adapt to those stimuli to survive. Unlike mutations, epigenetic changes do not …

In recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) based concrete, the strength and durability are
influenced by the characteristics of RCA. Micro-level cracks and poor interfacial transition …

Using RCA in concrete reduces the consumption of natural raw materials, protects the
environment and manages waste disposal. Since a high volume of aggregates is used in the …

The advantages of microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) as bio-cementation
technology for tailings-solidification are under extensive investigation. In order to improve …

Background: Encapsulation is a valuable method used to protect active substances and
enhance their physico-chemical properties. It can also be used as protection from …

Cracks in concrete structures can significantly decrease their lifespan by exposing
reinforcement to outside environment, leading to concrete degradation. To address this …

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has gained significant traction
as an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and intelligent self-healing method for concrete cracks. The …

Dust poses environmental, geological, health, and economic concerns, and microorganisms
can help mitigate these adverse consequences by improving soil properties. Microbial …

Extracellular proteases are a class of public good that support growth of Bacillus subtilis
when nutrients are in a polymeric form. Bacillus subtilis biofilm matrix molecules are another …
