Food, Medical, Veterinary, Agricultural, and Environmental Biotechnologies differ in their areas of applications. A new biotechnological dis- cipline, Construction Biotechnology, arose during the last decade. Two major directions in Construction Biotechnology are (Fig. 1): Construction Biotechnology Biotechnologyof Construction Materials Biotechnologyof Construction Processes Biocementation Construction bioplastics Bioclogging Biodesaturation Microbial Bioaggregation additions to cement, Biocrusting mortars, and grouts Biocoating Microbial Bioremediation cements, mortars, and grouts Fig.1 Directionsofconstructionbiotechnology vii viii Preface (1) The industrial production of the construction materials, for example cement admixtures or bioplastic, by microorganisms and (2) in situ applications of microorganismsortheirproducts intheconstructionprocess.Theaimofthisbook is to show the current trends and new potential directions for the further develop- ment of Construction Biotechnology. Construction Biotechnology is a new interdisciplinary area involving applica- tions of environmental and industrial microbiology and biotechnology in civil engineering. The topics covered in this book are as follows: biotechnological production of new construction materials such as biotechnological admixtures to cement,constructionbiocomposites,constructionbioplastics,self-healingconcrete, as well as such construction-related processes as biocementation, biogrouting, bioclogging, biosealing, soil surface fixation, biocoating of construction material surface, biotechnologies of green building and green city, microbiology and bio- safety of construction environment, prevention of biocorrosion, biodeterioration and biofouling in civil engineering. Biomediated precipitations of calcium, mag- nesium, and iron compounds as carbonates, phosphates, sulfides, and silicate minerals in soil or fractured rocks, as well as on surface of materials, for their clogging,strengtheningorcoating areconsideredfromgeotechnical,chemical,and microbiologicalpointsofview.Somebasicmicrobiologicalknowledgethatcanbe useful for civil engineers toperform construction biogeochemical processesisalso given in the book. The design principles and considerations for different field implementations are discussed from practical point of view. The book can be used asatextbookforgraduateandseniorundergraduatestudentsinbiotechnology,civil engineering, and environmental engineering, as well as a reference book for the researchers and practitioners who are working in new interdisciplinary area of Construction Biotechnology.
