PG - 55-66 LID - S0168-1656(22)00074-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2022.03.016 [doi] AB - Soil cementation based on microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) technology is a new research hotspot in the field of biogeotechnical engineering. However, due to the presence of only calcium bonds among particles, MICP-cemented soil shows obvious brittleness, which is the bottleneck of the application of MICP technology in geotechnical engineering. MICP-bonding technology can improve the shortcoming of high brittleness of the calcium bond by increasing the plastic bond among matrix particles. Based on MICP-bonding technology, this study isolated a high-efficiency strain named XR1(#), which has the ability to produce both urease and extracellular polysaccharide. Gene sequencing identified the strain as Bacillus oceanicus. The superiority of XR1(#) bacteria is its ability to induce mineralization and polysaccharide production at the same time. Through the combination of calcium carbonate crystal filling and extracellular polysaccharide bonding, the strength and ductility of the sand column were improved, and the brittle characteristics of traditional MICP technology were reduced. By studying the effect of nutrient elements of the culture medium on calcium precipitation and polysaccharide yield, the two metabolites of XR1(#) bacteria could be artificially regulated. In an experiment with microbial-cemented fine sand, compared with the traditional Sporosarcina pasteurii, XR1(#)-cemented sand columns had high production and uniform distribution of calcium carbonate, high strength, and good ductility, and showed obvious advantages. This study provides a new strain with high efficiency and multiple functions for MICP-bonding technology and a new research idea for reducing MICP brittleness. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
