Self-repairing of rock cracks by microbially induced silicate precipitation

Abstract The natural silicate minerals with a ring structure were observed on a tuff breccia outcrop in Okinawa, Japan, appearing to self-repair cracks. Generally, silicate minerals are difficult to dissolve in water and their mechanical strength is relatively higher than that of other natural preci...
