• Biological process of soil improvement in civil engineering: A review (2016, background): “The findings are in agreement with those of De Muynck et al. (2010) who found that higher concentration of cementation reagents usually increases the salinity of the medium thereby retarding the microbial activity due to inhibitory effects, though the activity of somemicroorganisms is not really aff”
• Biogeochemical processes and geotechnical applications: progress, opportunities and challenges (2013, background): “Calcite precipitation may be achieved by many different processes (DeJong et al., 2010), including urea hydrolysis (Benini et al., 1999; Ciurli et al., 1999); denitrification (Karatas et al., 2008; Van Paassen et al., 2010a; Hamdan et al., 2011b); sulphate reduction, inducing dolomite precipitation…”
• Biocalcification of Sand through Ureolysis (2011, background): “…with use of urea as a microbial substrate, has been successfully implemented in the laboratory for improvement of sands and plugging of fractured rocks (Gollapudi et al. 1995; Urzi et al. 1999; Ramachandran et al. 2001; Ross et al. 2001; Bang et al. 2001; Day et al. 2003; DeJong et al. 2010).”
• Geotechnical engineering behaviors of gellan gum biopolymer treated sand (2016, methodology): “3 A number of studies have investigated the possibility of directly implementing microbial induced 4 calcite precipitation (MICP) using microbes in the soil with the goal of strengthening the soil using a 5 lower carbon footprint than that of ordinary engineering soil practices such as cement mixing”
• A microfluidic chip and its use in characterising the particle-scale behaviour of microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) (2018, background): “In terms of distribution, precipitates either coated the surface of sand particles or formed bridges between the sand particles as agglomerated spherical crystals (DeJong et al., 2010).”
• The drying effect on xanthan gum biopolymer treated sandy soil shear strength (2019, background): “Even though their content is relatively low in the soil, they still play an important role in influencing hydro conductivity, aggregation, durability and strength [7,8].”
