Microbiological system for supporting the consolidation process of sand and / or sandy soils, method of its production, and method for supporting the consolidation process of sand and / or sandy soils

Abstract

The application concerns a microbiological system supporting the consolidation of sand and sandy soils through biocementation, utilizing a mixture of bacteria from the Sporosarcina genus, including Sporosarcina sp. ANT_H38, deposited in the Polish Collection of Microorganisms (PCM) at the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław under number B / 00547, and Sporosarcina pasteurii DSM 33. The goal is to stabilize and strengthen soil structures through natural mineralization, which increases the substrate's load-bearing capacity. The process involves culturing the bacteria on LB medium, diluting them and combining them with urea, and then applying them to sand or soil with the addition of a cementing medium. The system also operates effectively at low temperatures, enabling broad applications in construction and environmental protection. The application also concerns a method for producing the microbiological system and a method for supporting the consolidation process of sand and / or sandy soils using this system.
