Enhancement of Engineering Mechanical Properties and Soil Stabilization Using Novel Bio-enzymatic Composites

Review Article /

Introduction 1.1 Bio-enzymatic: An alternative to conventional stabilizers The bio-enzymatic system involves stabilization (strengthening) methods that use enzymes (biological catalysts) of biological origin, primarily from microbial (small organisms such as bacteria or fungi) or plant sources, to induce physicochemical (physical and chemical) and structural changes in materials such as soil. The term “novel bio-enzymatic” refers
