A new technique in remediating cracks and fissures in concrete by utilizing microbiologically induced Calcite (CaCo3)
precipitation is discussed. Microbiologically induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a technique that comes under a
broader category of science called Bio Mineralization. It is a process by which living organisms form inorganic solids. Bacillus
subtilis, a common soil bacterium can induce the precipitation of calcite.
