dc.description.abstractThis paper documents the laboratory evidence on the mineralization mechanism of Candida ethanolica for surface coating of concrete with polluted sand as fine aggregate. C. ethanolica is largely discovered as a waste microbe in the beer industry. The tendency of the microbe to cultivate easily and induce bio-crystals with the capability to encapsulate heavy metals; has made it mesmerizing to be explored in a sustainable manner for concrete surface coating technology. Under the influence of the optimal initial pH, calcium oxide concentration, and fungal cell concentration in the liquid growth media; the treated concrete cubes were experimented to have an average 28-day compressive strength of 32.20 MPa. Such strength value is 6.27% higher when compared to that of the untreated concrete cubes at the same curing time. Overall, the findings revealed that the fungal bio-crystals have a promising prospect to be applied as a concrete surface coating. � 2020en_US
