In this chapter an overview will be given of the biotechnological possibilities for repair of concrete with focus on application of limestone-producing bacteria and the different metabolic pathways involved, e.g., via hydrolysis of urea and heterotrophic CO2 production
...
Self-healing of cracks in concrete can be achieved by application of bacteria which metabolically convert organic compounds under aerobic conditions yielding limestone. Added to the concrete mix as part of a healing agent, bacteria can, via metabolic activity resulting in limesto
