Abstract
A locally isolated ureolytic bacterial strain, identified as Kurthia zopfii strain Bal19, was retrieved from soil samples taken at Zoo Johor, Malaysia. It demonstrated remarkable biocement precipitation capabilities, yielding 1.23 g/L when combined with seawater, serving as an economical source of calcium ions. This promising performance suggests the viability of using this specific bacterial strain in tandem with seawater for cost-effective biocement precipitation (BCP), offering a compelling alternative to conventional calcium salts like calcium chloride for large-scale biocementation applications in Malaysia.
