Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in the study of biocorrosion: an overview
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of microbial consortia and the role of extracellular polymeric substances in biocorrosion is emphasized, as well as the contribution of modern analytical techniques, such as atomic force microscopy, Auger electron, X-ray photoelectron and Mossbauer spectroscopy, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrum analyzer and microsensors, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of the major microbial biomass of biofilms on exteriors of buildings in Europe and Latin America
TL;DR: Algae were more frequent than other groups on all substrates in Europe, whereas in Europe algae were most common, followed by cyanobacteria, which may explain the relative prevalence of this group in Europe.
Book
Introduction to biodeterioration
TL;DR: The control of biodeterioration of natural materials and refined and processed materials has been studied in this paper, where the authors present an approach for building environment, structures, systems, and transportation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deteriogenic biofilms on buildings and their control: A review
TL;DR: It is important for architects and engineers to consider critical points in the humidity profile of a building at the design stage to protect materials from microbial growth on constructional materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial impact on building materials: an overview
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the microorganisms which can modify the properties of building materials such as concrete, mortars, composites, timber, gypsum, etc., as well as the mechanisms responsible for deterioration of these materials.
