AB  - Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has a potential to improve the 
      durability properties and remediate cracks in concrete. In the present study, the 
      main emphasis is placed upon replacing the expensive laboratory nutrient broth 
      (NB) with corn steep liquor (CSL), an industrial by-product, as an alternate 
      nutrient medium during biocementation. The influence of organic nutrients (carbon 
      and nitrogen content) of CSL and NB on the chemical and structural properties of 
      concrete structures is studied. It has been observed that cement-setting 
      properties were unaffected by CSL organic content, while NB medium influenced it. 
      Carbon and nitrogen content in concrete structures was significantly lower in 
      CSL-treated specimens than in NB-treated specimens. Decreased permeability and 
      increased compressive strength were reported when NB is replaced with CSL in 
      bacteria-treated specimens. The present study results suggest that CSL can be 
      used as a replacement growth medium for MICP technology at commercial scale.
