abstract = {Cyanobacterial carbonate precipitation induced by cells and extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) enhances mortar durability. The percentage of cell/EPS attachment
regulates the effectiveness of the mortar restoration. This study investigates the cell
coverage on mortar and microbially induced carbonate precipitation. Statistical analysis
of results from scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy shows that the cell
coverage was higher in the presence of UV-killed
cells than living cells. Cells are preferably
attached to cement paste than sand grains, with a difference of one order of
magnitude. The energy-dispersive
X-ray
spectroscopy analyses and Raman mapping
suggest cyanobacteria used atmospheric CO2 to precipitate carbonates.},
