Is there any study that shows calcite precipitated by bacteria in self-healing concrete lead to micro-cracking?

Calcium carbonate precipitated by bacterial metabolism is the sealing agent for cracks in self-healing concrete. However, if there is no crack, would the calcite generated by bacteria lead to...
