Anotations

Scope note:

Microbially mediated stabilization of degraded or weakened areas of works, usually of stone, that are affected by chemical, physical, or biological weathering phenomena. In situ cementation of ornamental materials occurs via microbially induced biomineralization. Bioconsolidation may occur naturally on surfaces where microorganisms aid in the formation of cementing phases such as oxalates and carbonates, and biofilms.
