摘要
Five different cell concentrations of Bacillus megaterium (10 x 10(5) to 50 x 10(5) cfu/ml) were introduced in structural concrete to achieve the optimum concentration of bacteria. The significant increase in the strength was obtained in the case of 30 x 10(5) cfu/ml at different ages. The strength of highest grade of bacterial concrete had improved (24%) as compared to lowest grade (12.8%) due to calcification mechanism. Microbial calcite precipitation was quantified using X-ray diffraction analysis, visualized by scanning electron microscopy and analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer. It was found that the optimum concentration of B. megaterium had a positive effect on high strength structural concrete. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
