Swiss Researchers Turn Sand Into Building Material Using Bacteria
水泥是现代建筑业最重要的基础材料之一，但传统波特兰水泥的生产需要将原料加热至高温，消耗大量能源，并产生可观的二氧化碳排放。因此，寻找能够减少能源消耗和碳排放的替代材料，一直是建筑材料研究领域的重要方向。此次研究的核心思路并不是重新设计传统水泥的烧制工艺，而是利用微生物自身的代谢活动，在沙粒之间形成天然矿物质，将原本松散的颗粒结合成具有一定强度的整体。研究团队使用的细菌名为巴氏芽孢八叠球菌（Sporosarcina pasteurii）。在适当条件下，这种细菌能够促进碳酸钙的形成。碳酸钙广泛存在于石灰岩、白垩以及贝壳等天然物质中。当其在沙粒之间析出并形成微
