This open access book offers a comprehensive overview of the role
and potential of microorganisms in the degradation and preservation
of cultural materials (e.g. stone, metals, graphic documents,
textiles, paintings, glass, etc.). Microorganisms are a major cause
of deterioration in cultural artefacts, both in the case of outdoor
monuments and archaeological finds. This book covers the
microorganisms involved in biodeterioration and control methods
used to reduce their impact on cultural artefacts. Additionally,
the reader will learn more about how microorganisms can be used for
the preservation and protection of cultural artefacts through
bio-based and eco-friendly materials. New avenues for developing
methods and materials for the conservation of cultural artefacts
are discussed, together with concrete advances in terms of
sustainability, effectiveness and toxicity, making the book
essential reading for anyone interested in microbiology and the
preservation of cultural heritage.
