AB  - Over the last 10-15 years, a new field of "biogeotechnics" has emerged as 
      geotechnical engineers seek to find ground improvement technologies which have 
      the potential to be lower carbon, more ecologically friendly, and more 
      cost-effective than existing practices. This review summarizes the developments 
      which have occurred in this new field, outlining in particular the microbial 
      processes which have been shown to be most promising for altering the hydraulic 
      and mechanical responses of soils and rocks. Much of the research effort in this 
      new field has been focused on microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) 
      via ureolysis, while a comprehensive review of MICP is presented here, the 
      developments which have been made regarding other microbial processes, including 
      MICP via denitrification and biogenic gas generation are also presented. 
      Furthermore, this review outlines a new area of study: the potential deployment 
      of fungi in geotechnical applications which has until now been unexplored.
