AB  - Current studies have employed various pure-cultures for improving concrete 
      durability based on microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). However, 
      there have been very few reports concerned with microbial consortia, which could 
      perform more complex tasks and be more robust in their resistance to 
      environmental fluctuations. In this study, we constructed three microbial 
      consortia that are capable of MICP under aerobic (AE), anaerobic (AN) and 
      facultative anaerobic (FA) conditions. The results showed that AE consortia 
      showed more positive effects on inorganic carbon conversion than AN and FA 
      consortia. Pyrosequencing analysis showed that clear distinctions appeared in the 
      community structure between different microbial consortia systems. Further 
      investigation on microbial community networks revealed that the species in the 
      three microbial consortia built thorough energetic and metabolic interaction 
      networks regarding MICP, nitrate-reduction, bacterial endospores and fermentation 
      communities. Crack-healing experiments showed that the selected cracks of the 
      three consortia-based concrete specimens were almost completely healed in 28 
      days, which was consistent with the studies using pure cultures. Although the 
      economic advantage might not be clear yet, this study highlights the potential 
      implementation of microbial consortia on crack healing in concrete.
