is an interdisciplinary field in which biological processes are combined with
many different fields to produce environmentally friendly and economically
feasible products. Within the scope of this study, first CaCO <sub>3 </sub>
production potential of <i>Sporosarcina pasteurii </i>has been observed and optimized, and then the capability of hardening of
the sand is examined. The optimum CaCl <sub>2 </sub> concentration for maximized
CaCO <sub>3 </sub> formation was found as 50 mM. The ecological urban element was
designed and its mold was produced by 3D printer at lab scale. The <i>Sporosarcina pasteurii </i> was mixed with
sand and filled into the mold. The sand was mixed with 50 mM CaCl <sub>2 </sub>
solution every day until hardening is observed. At the end of one week, a
sitting element from hardened sand was produced. The CaCO <sub>3 </sub> formation
was observed with XPS analysis. Thus, an interdisciplinary approach was used to
produce ecological biodesign products.v </span>}, number={1}, publisher={CNR Çevre}
