Abstract
A construction article including a compacted mixture that includes soil and a crop plant biomass microorganism-expressed enzyme composition. A method of stabilizing soil including: (i) mixing together soil, water and a crop plant biomass microorganism-expressed enzyme composition to form a mixture; (ii) causing the mixture to be shaped into a selected structure; and (iii) causing the structure to be compacted.
Claims31
A construction article comprising at least one article of construction formed from a compacted mixture including clay-containing soil and a ureolytic enzyme composition.
A method of stabilizing soil, comprising:
- mixing together clay-containing soil, water and a ureolytic enzyme composition to form a mixture;
- causing the mixture to be shaped into a selected structure;
- and
- causing the structure to be compacted.
A method of stabilizing soil, comprising:
- mixing together soil, water and a crop plant biomass microorganism-expressed enzyme composition to form a mixture;
- forming the mixture over a soil subsurface moistened by a solution including water and the crop plant biomass microorganism-expressed enzyme composition;
- and
- compacting the mixture.
A method of stabilizing soil, comprising:
- dispersing a crop plant biomass microorganism-expressed enzyme composition in a water body confined by a soil subsurface;
- allowing the enzyme composition in the water body to form a mixture on the soil subsurface, where the mixture includes soil, water, and the enzyme composition;
- and
- allowing the water body to compact the mixture on the soil subsurface.
The method of clam 29, where the enzyme composition includes a ureolytic enzyme.
