I've tried this experiment. There're so many factors including bacteria species and their capability to induce calcite. Unfortunately, they are limited to heal overall crack as you can find it too in other references. It still needs further experiments.
Can we also talk about the downsides of this idea? Does the bacteria heal it all, and where and when does it stop, how does the bacteria know when to stop? (This is when the bacteria is overactive.) What happens when the cracks are not fully healed in this process? Are you planning to completely pull human interaction away of repairs? Who's going to check whether the concrete is really healed and to what extent? (This is when the bacteria doesn't work properly.)

I'd like to try some, but can't find info on it. Is there a contact email or a place to get the pellets?
