BacillaFilla - A Bacteria That Glues Concrete Walls

Buildings all around the world have collapsed because of terrible natural disasters and wars. It always takes a lot of money to repair these buildings, and it is bad for the environment....so we shouldn't repair buildings anymore? Of course we should, but with a new 'glue' to hold the buildings stable and strong!!!
This new, amazing, substance is made from bacteria soil genetically mixed so it starts to germinate the instant it touches the new product called....'BacillaFilla'! Interesting, right? When these smartened up bacteria are multiplying, they start to swarm around the cracks of the building until they arrive to the bottom. Then, they start clumping up.
Meanwhile, the bacteria is still hard at work, separating into three different parts to make the building even stronger than before. The three groups are called; calcium carbonate, which makes the repair, Levans glue, and bacteria filaments is the reinforcing group.
With all of these three groups combined, you can make a glue that can repair buildings, practically by itself! Please go to link if you are interested, and thank you for reading!
Clare,
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!! The link is totally aweosme!!! Isnt it just......... i dont have the words to explain but i cant believe what i read! Its very interesting and cool!!

Really nicely written, But i wander can the glue withstand a earthquake??
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome article! Is this glue polluting? [ causing any disease ]
ReplyDeleteWOW, clare this is AMAZING!!! I wonder is it true and is it that strong? I agree ith Franci, does the glue pollute, because it has alot of chemical subsentences?....Anyway its really good, I love your blog! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the discussion you are all having! Well written current event Clare. I wonder how strong it can really hold against a natural disaster like a hurricane or an earthquake? How did they find out that a bacteria can make a glue. Good job!

ReplyDeleteAnyway we must derecly wash are hands if we touch it!
I think it is a interesting article and a interesting discover!
