Effects of biocementation on some properties of cement-based materials incorporating Bacillus Species bacteria – a review
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-11)
There is a growing need in the construction industry to improve transfer and
durability aspects of Portland pozzolana cement. Ureolytic bacteria have recently
emerged as potential micro-organisms well known for precipitation ...
Influence of Lysinibacillus sphaericus on compressive strength and water sorptivity in microbial cement mortar
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
Cement structures are subject to degradation either by aggressive media or development of micro/macro cracks
which create external substance ingress pathways. Microbiocementation can be employed as a self-intelligent
solution ...

Diversity of esterase and lipase producing haloalkaliphilic bacteria from Lake Magadi in Kenya
(2019-09)
Lipids are hydrocarbons comprised of long‐chain fatty acids and are found in all
living things. In the environment, microorganisms degrade them to obtain
energy using esterases and lipases. These enzymes are nowadays ...
Phylogenetic and morphological diversity of culturable cyanobacteria from Lake Magadi in Kenya
(2019-10)
Lake Magadi is an alkaline saline Lake in Kenya, which lies on the Great Eastern
Rift valley. Although the lake is characterized by extremes of salt, pH and
temperature, it supports diverse groups of cyanobacteria. In ...
