How can bacteria be used to build a house on Mars?

Scientists have developed a new technology for carrying out construction work on Mars. A technology for producing biocement using Martian dust and special microorganisms has been discovered. Using this method, bacteria firmly bind soil particles together, forming a solid material resembling sandstone.

This technology makes it possible to build houses on Mars cheaper and more energy-efficient. This approach also significantly simplifies the process of constructing structures necessary for living in space.
