Abstract
The construction industry is one of the thriving industries in the world. There are various modern techniques implemented and latest construction materials are used to build an eco-friendly and sustainable building. Construction Biotechnology is a new scientific and engineering discipline that has been developing exponentially during the last decade. In this biotechnology-based construction, microbially treated construction materials are used. The bio-agents used in construction biotechnologies are pure or enriched with cultures of native microorganisms or microorganisms isolated and activated from the soil. Overall process of construction is also different due to involvement of biotechnology-derived processes and technologies. Biotechnology-based construction has shown potential of cost-effectiveness which renders such construction technologies promising in the current era. Architects, engineers, and people involved with construction are suggesting these biotechnology-based construction technologies for ecofriendliness and high sustainability of these novel construction materials. As a field, biotechnology offers countless solutions to common environmental problems well beyond the construction industry.Građevinska industrija je jedna od naprednijih industrija u svetu. U njoj se primenjuju različite moderne tehnike i najnoviji građevinski materijali koji se koriste za izgradnju ekološki prihvatljivih i održivih zgrada. Biotehnologija u građevinskoj industriji je nova naučna i inženjerska disciplina koja se postepeno razvijala tokom poslednje decenije. U ovoj biotehnološkoj disciplini koriste se građevinski materijali tretirani mikrobima. Bioagensi koji se koriste u građevinskim biotehnologijama su čisti ili obogaćeni kulturama izvornih mikroorganizama ili mikroorganizmima koji su izolovani iz tla i aktivirani. Celokupni proces izgradnje je takođe drugačiji zbog upotrebe postupaka i tehnologija zasnovanih na biotehnologiji. Ovakav način izgradnje se pokazao kao potencijalno isplativ, što biotehnologije čini obećavajućim. Arhitekte, inženjeri i ljudi uključeni u izgradnju predlažu ove biotehnologije kao ekološki prihvatljive i visoko održive. Biotehnologija kao oblast nudi bezbroj rešenja za česte probleme u vezi sa ekologijom, ne samo u okviru građevinske industrije.
