CHARACTERIZATION OF UREASE OF BACTERIAL ISOLATES FROM CEMENT FOR CONCRETE ENHANCEMENT
ABSTRACT Ureases are a group of enzymes that hydrolyse urea producing carbon dioxide and ammonia. Urease producing bacteria have shown their importance in microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation in the construction industry. This study focused on the characterization of bacterial isolates from cement for concrete enhancement. Two (2) bacterial isolates assigned codes CA (B) and CA (F) were isolated from cement samples using enrichment culture technique. The isolates were screened ...
