AB  - The effectiveness of Microbiologically Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) 
      from the formate oxidation by Methylocystis parvus OBBP as an alternative process 
      for concrete protection was investigated. MICP was induced on Autoclaved Aerated 
      Concrete (AAC), the model material, by immersing the material in 10(9) M. parvus 
      cells mL(-1) containing 5 g L(-1) of calcium formate. A 2 days immersion of the 
      material gave the maximum weight increase of the specimens (38 +/- 19 mg) and this 
      was likely due to the deposition of calcium carbonate, biomass, and unconverted 
      calcium formate. The solid deposition mainly occurred in the micropores of the 
      specimen, close to the outer surface. A significantly lower water absorption was 
      observed in the bacterially treated specimens compared to the non-treated ones 
      (up to 2.92 +/- 0.91 kg m(-2)) and this could be attributed to the solid 
      deposition. However, the sonication test demonstrated that the bacterial 
      treatment did not give a consolidating effect to the material. Overall, compared 
      to the currently employed urea hydrolysis process, the formate-based MICP by M. 
      parvus offers a more environmentally friendly approach for the biotechnological 
      application to protect concrete.
