Abstract: There are millions of bacteria available, and certain of it can be used in the
construction industry for enhancement of the overall construction. Recently, it is found
that microbial mineral precipitation resulting from metabolic activities of favorable
microorganisms in concrete improved the overall behavior of concrete. The process can
occur inside or outside the microbial cell or even some distance away within the concrete.
Often bacterial activities simply trigger a change in solution chemistry that leads to over
saturation and mineral precipitation. Use of these Bio mineralogy concepts in concrete
leads to potential invention of new material called ―Bacterial Concrete. And this paper
represents that how inclusion of bacteria in concrete affects compressive strength of
concrete. Different proportions of 105, 10
6, 10
7, 10
8 and 10
9 cells/ml concentration were
added in concrete and compressive strength was tested. Results indicate improvement in
compressive strength of concrete after inclusion of bacteria.

I. INTRODUCTION
Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few
micrometers in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods
and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are
present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs,
radioactive waste, and the deep portions of Earth's crust.
Microbial mineral precipitation resulting from metabolic activities of favorable
microorganisms in concrete improved the overall behavior of concrete. The process can
occur inside or outside the microbial cell or even some distance away within the
concrete. Often bacterial activities simply trigger a change in solution chemistry that
leads to over saturation and mineral precipitation. Use of these Bio mineralogy concepts
in concrete leads to potential invention of new material called ―Bacterial Concrete.
Bacilious pesturi bacteria were added in concrete for various proportions.

II. CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
Following are the critical literature reviews on various papers based on experimental research
work on use of bacteria into the concrete.
Ghosh et al. (2006) said that compressive strength was increased in concrete (53 grade) and
mortar (22.62% and 19%) by adding Escherichia coli in concrete at 105 concentrations per
ml. by precipitation of inert filler matter. [2]
Muynck et al. (2007) stated that use of Bacillus Sphaericusin the concrete resulted in to
greater resistant to corrosion and improved durability due to calcium carbonate (CaCo3)
precipitation. [3]
Sung-Jin et al. (2010) studied that different calcite forming bacteria resulted into greater
compressive strength and durability in cement mortar. [4]
Bang et al. (2010) identified that CaCo3 precipitation could be increased by Sporosarcina
pasteurii bacteria in the concrete and it results in increase of durability of concrete. [5]
Reddy et al. (2010) concluded that concrete strength, durability, density and microstructure
can be improved by incorporating bacillus subtilis bacterias in to it. [6]
III. METHODOLOGY
Following is the methodology for casting and testing for compressive strength of
concrete made by inclusion of bacteria in different proportions.

Figure 2: Compressive Strength of all M30 Mixes: Standard Concrete and concrete with
Inclusion of Bacteria in Different Proportions at 28 Days.
From above figures1 and 2, it can be said that compressive strength of all the M30
mixes increased with increase in days. Also compressive strength increases with increase in
bacterial content up to 107
cells/ml concentration, after it further increase in bacterial content
decrease the compressive strength results but it was higher than the standard mixes. So
optimum bacterial content for maximum compressive strength was 107 cells/ml
concentration. For 107 cells/ml B3 Mix shows 25.53% increase in compressive strength
compare to standard A Batch mix.

Figure 4: Compressive Strength of all M40 Batches: Standard and concrete with
Inclusion of Bacteria in Different Proportions at 28 Days.
From above figures 3 and 4, it can be said that compressive strength of all the M40
mixes increased with increase in days. Also compressive strength increases with increase in
bacterial content up to 107
cells/ml concentration, after it further increase in bacterial content
decrease the compressive strength results but it was higher than the standard mixes. So
optimum bacterial content for maximum compressive strength for M40 Mixes was 107
cells/ml concentration. For 107 cells/ml D3Mix shows 18.68% increase in compressive
strength compare to standard C mix.
VII CONCLUSION
From above experimental work, following conclusion are drawn:
1) Compressive strength of concrete increases after inclusion of bacillius pesturi bacteria in
it.
2) Compressive strength increases as increase in bacterial content up to 107 cells/ml
concentration, further increase in bacterial content shows decrease in compressive
strength of concrete.
3) For M30 grade concrete, optimum mix is B3 with 107 cells/ml and for M40 grade
optimum mix is D3 with 107 cells/ml concentration.
4) For M30 grade concrete there was 25.53% maximum increase of compressive strength as
compared with standard A M30 mix, and for M40 grade there was 18.68 % maximum
increase of compressive strength as compared to C standard M40 mix.
