Abstract

BACKGROUND: Biocement, calcifying bacteria-incorporated cement, offers an environmentally-friendly way to increase the cement lifespan. This work aimed to investigate the potential use of Lysinibacillus sp. strain YL towards biocement application in both theoretical and experimental ways.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Strain YL was grown using calcium acetate (Ca(C

CONCLUSION: Strain YL is a promising candidate for biocement applications. This work represents the trials of experiments and models allowing quantitatively comparison with large-scale production in the future.
