Bioprecipitation of calcium carbonate induced by Bacillus
Abstract In view of the growing concern about improving the characteristics and durability of cementitious materials, additions of bacteria, mainly of the genus Bacillus, are being studied as pore and crack filling through calcium carbonate precipitation (CaCO3). In this sense, the present study tested the strain B. subtilis AP91, isolated from rice leaves of the early Agulha variety, in the
