The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Development of a bacteria-based self healing concrete (2008, background): “In those studies, the calcite production potential of a special group of ureolytic bacteria and their applicability to concrete was investigated (Bang et al. 2001; Ramachandran et al. 2001; De Muynck et al 2007; Ramakrishnan 2007).”
Microbial carbonate precipitation in construction materials: A review (2010, background): “No differnces could be observed between the overall performances of free r polyurethane immobilized cells in the precipitation of carbonte (Bang et al., 2001).”
Bacteria-based self-healing concrete (2011, background): “efficient sealing of surface cracks by mineral precipitation was observed when bacteria-based mixtures were sprayed or applied onto damaged surfaces or manually inserted into cracks [7-13].”
High strength in-situ biocementation of soil by calcite precipitating locally isolated ureolytic bacteria (2008, result): “Rhombohedral calcite crystals due to ureolytic bacterial activity in the absence of the spherical deposits were observed in other studies (Bang et al., 2001; Bang et al., 2002; Mitchell and Ferris, 2006).”
