Bacterial Communities in Concrete Reflect Its Composite Nature and Change with Weathering

Concrete is the most-used building material in the world and a biologically extreme environment, with a microbiome composed of bacteria that likely come from concrete precursor materials, aerosols, and environmental deposition. These microbes, though seeded from a variety of materials, are all subj...
