Exploration of ureolytic airborne bacteria for biocementation applications from different climate zones in Japan.

ABSTRACT: The present study investigated the ureolytic airborne bacteria for microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) applications, seeking resilient strains in order to address the problems of bacterial survivability and adaptability in biocementation treatment and to contribute a robust approach that can effectively stabilize diverse soils. Since the airborne bacteria tend to survive in dynamic environments, they are believed to possess remarkable adaptability in harsh conditions, thus holding great potential for engineering applications. Samplings across diverse climatic zones revealed that approximately 10-20% of the isolates were ureolytic bacteria in each sampling site. A series of characterization tests were conducted on selected strains to study the temperature dependency of urease a
