Can dental plaque be used to strengthen soils?
In South Dakota, expansive and sulfate-rich soils can cause serious problems for civil infrastructure, like roads and bridges, and agriculture production. In certain climatic conditions, these expansive — or "problematic" — soils will crack and swell. A new National Science Foundation-backed project from South Dakota State University will explore if biofilms made from dental plaque can help improve the stability of problematic soils.
