Abstract
The application of biotechnologies in cementitious materials represents an opportunity for innovation and sustainability in the civil construction industry. Obtaining repair mortars using the Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) method is one of the main prospects on this topic. However, this approach is still not propagated, as it is a recent and developing thematic. Therefore, this article has the purpose of realizing an integrative literature review on the MICP method in repair mortars. After identifying the theme, the methodological sequence began with the establishment of search and sampling criteria, followed by the definition of the information of interest, critical evaluation of the selected studies and interpretation and presentation of results. The main methods identified were: external repair, with more frequent use and consistent results; and internal (self-regeneration). It was verified that there is a tendency to increase the strength pressure and decrease the water permeability of mortars treated with MICP. In addition, the formation of calcium carbonate by biological agents acts as a fissure repairer. Finally, it was identified that the greatest difficulty reported in the literature is related to the high complexity of biological processes since it involves various environmental factors. However, the technique shows promise and its development adds innovation and low environmental impact.
