| Περίληψη: | Restaurant wastewater (RWW) represents an abundant yet largely unexplored nutrient source for enriching ureolytic microbial consortia applicable to microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP). This study characterised RWW collected from a food-service establishment in Johor, Malaysia (COD 1,341 mg/L; BOD 837 mg/L; pH 6.8), and systematically evaluated its capacity to support indigenous ureolytic bacterial enrichment across three media formulations: yeast extract-based (Medium-1), nutrient broth-based (Medium-2), and brown sugar-based (Medium-3). Medium-1 delivered the strongest performance, achieving OD (© 2026. The Author(s).) |
