“…Bio-mediated soil improvement techniques have been introduced to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission during the process of cement production [10][11][12]. e possible environmentally friendly materials (e.g., biopolymers) [13][14][15][16] and methods (e.g., microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) [17][18][19]) are an alternative to conventional soil treatment and improvement techniques (i.e., mechanical improvement and chemical treatment). Particularly, biopolymers as biodegradable polymers have been investigated as a construction material for soil improvement [20][21][22].…”

The use of admixtures in soils to improve their properties has been implemented since ancient times. Diverse conventional admixtures such as lime, fly ash, and cement have been added to soils. Also, petrochemicals and bacteria are increasingly used for soil improvement and soil stabilization both mechanically and chemically. However, the conventional admixtures for soils cause significant environmental problems (e.g., CO2 emission). Biopolymers can increasingly replace the conventional admixtures for the application of soil improvement and soil stabilization. Numerous studies have been conducted in the past decades to investigate the suitability and efficiency of various biopolymers for soil improvement. This paper focuses on the properties of the most common biopolymers (xanthan gum, gellan gum, agar, polyacrylamide, and guar gum) and gives the mechanism of biopolymer-treated soils for soil improvements proposed by researchers.

“…In another study conducted by Jeong et al, 2019, they examined the MEOR process efficiency on the basis of in-situ selective plugging through production of bacterial biopolymers and then optimization with nutrient injection approach for obtaining highest oil recovery [ 138 ]. This experiment was done based on the in situ selective plugging by the production of the bacterial biopolymer called dextran from L. mesenteroides .…”

Bacterial Biopolymer: Its Role in Pathogenesis to Effective Biomaterials

Bacteria are considered as the major cell factories, which can effectively convert nitrogen and carbon sources to a wide variety of extracellular and intracellular biopolymers like polyamides, polysaccharides, polyphosphates, polyesters, proteinaceous compounds, and extracellular DNA. Bacterial biopolymers find applications in pathogenicity, and their diverse materialistic and chemical properties make them suitable to be used in medicinal industries. When these biopolymer compounds are obtained from pathogenic bacteria, they serve as important virulence factors, but when they are produced by non-pathogenic bacteria, they act as food components or biomaterials. There have been interdisciplinary studies going on to focus on the molecular mechanism of synthesis of bacterial biopolymers and identification of new targets for antimicrobial drugs, utilizing synthetic biology for designing and production of innovative biomaterials. This review sheds light on the mechanism of synthesis of bacterial biopolymers and its necessary modifications to be used as cell based micro-factories for the production of tailor-made biomaterials for high-end applications and their role in pathogenesis.

Polysaccharide biopolymers are biomacromolecules derived from renewable resources with versatile functions including thickening, crosslinking, adsorption, etc. Possessing high efficiency and low cost, they have brought wide applications in all phases of petroleum recovery, from well drilling to wastewater treatment. The biopolymers are generally utilized as additives of fluids or plugging agents, to correct the fluid properties that affect the performance and cost of petroleum recovery. This review focuses on both the characteristics of biopolymers and their utilization in the petroleum recovery process. Research on the synthesis and characterization of polymers, as well as controlling their structures through modification, aims to develop novel recipes of biopolymer treatment with new application realms. The influences of biopolymer in many petroleum recovery cases were also evaluated to permit establishing the correlations between their physicochemical properties and performances. As their performance is heavily affected by the local environment, screening and testing polymers under controlled conditions is the necessary step to guarantee the efficiency and safety of biopolymer treatments.
