Perhaps, the improvement of the compressive strength of Portland cement
mortar cubes based on MICP was initiated by Ramachandran et al. ( 2001 ). They
experimented on two different bacteria, namely, Bacillus pasteurii (later renamed
as Sporosarcina pasteurii) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and mixed bacterial cells
