CA 2633139

The invention relates to a method for immobilising bacteria in a material permeable to the bacteria, in particular a geological body, comprising forming a first zone comprising the bacteria in the material and allowing the first zone to move through at least part of the material; forming a second zone comprising an effective amount of a flocculating agent to the material and allowing the second zone to move through at least part of the material, wherein the zones are allowed to move such that the zones become at least partially overlapping and at least part of the bacteria flocculate, thereby becoming immobilised.

La présente invention concerne une méthode d'immobilisation des bactéries sur un matériau perméable aux bactéries, en particulier un matériau géologique, ladite méthode comprenant la formation d'une première zone comprenant les bactéries dans le matériau et l'observation du déplacement de la première zone au travers d'au moins une partie du matériau ; la formation d'une seconde zone comprenant une quantité active d'un agent floculant au niveau du matériau et l'observation du déplacement de la seconde zone au travers d'au moins une partie du matériau, sachant qu'il est permis aux zones de se déplacer de façon à se recouvrir et qu'au moins une partie des bactéries flocule, ce qui a pour effet de les immobiliser.
