This is a genetically modified bacterium called Bacillafil . When the spores germinate, the bacteria bind to the group and move themselves to small cracks in the concrete. At the bottom of the crack, they form a bonding mixture composed of calcium carbonate crystals, fiber-like microbes that function as durable fibers of the same type of glue called Levans and fill up the gap. empty.

Structures will therefore fit in firmness and durability similar to conventional concrete blocks. In addition, they have an innate autoimmune gene that can not survive in the environment or cause harm to humans.
