Fungi-mediated self-healing concrete is a novel approach that promotes the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO ) on fungal hyphae to heal the cracks in concrete. In this study, we set out to explore the potential of fungal species isolated from a limestone cave by investigating their ability to precipitate CaCO and to survive and grow in conditions relevant to concrete. Isolated strains belonging to the genera , and proved to be promising candidates for fungi-mediated self-healing concrete attributed to their growth properties and CaCO precipitation capabilities in the presence of cement.
真菌介导的自愈合混凝土是一种新型方法，可促进碳酸钙（CaCO₃）在真菌菌丝上沉淀，从而修复混凝土裂缝。在本研究中，我们通过研究从石灰岩洞穴中分离出的真菌物种沉淀CaCO₃的能力以及在与混凝土相关的条件下生存和生长的能力，来探索其潜力。属于曲霉属、青霉属和根霉属的分离菌株，由于其生长特性以及在水泥存在下CaCO₃的沉淀能力，被证明是真菌介导的自愈合混凝土的有前途的候选菌株。
