Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial deterioration of cultural heritage and works of art — tilting at windmills?
TL;DR: A review of a variety of well-known biodeterioration phenomena observed on different materials, such as stone and building materials, objects exhibited in museums and libraries, as well as human remains and burial-related materials and some prominent examples of successful and unsuccessful conservation treatments are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
An advanced molecular strategy to identify bacterial communities on art objects.
TL;DR: A DNA extraction protocol is introduced, which allowed the extraction of PCR-amplifiable DNA from samples derived from lime wall paintings and loamy soil underground, providing a more reliable phylogenetic identification of microorganisms than is obtained from sequence analyses of excised and directly sequenced DGGE bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altamira cave Paleolithic paintings harbor partly unknown bacterial communities
Claudia Schabereiter-Gurtner,Cesáreo Sáiz-Jiménez,Guadalupe Piñar,Werner Lubitz,Sabine Rölleke +4 more
TL;DR: The first report on the bacterial colonization of the valuable Paleolithic paintings in the famous Altamira cave (Spain) is reported, which gave insight into a great bacterial taxonomic diversity, and allowed the detection of unexpected and unknown bacteria with potential effects on the conservation of the painting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic diversity of bacteria associated with Paleolithic paintings and surrounding rock walls in two Spanish caves (Llonı́n and La Garma)
Claudia Schabereiter-Gurtner,Cesáreo Sáiz-Jiménez,Guadalupe Piñar,Werner Lubitz,Sabine Rölleke +4 more
TL;DR: Analysis of bacterial communities on Paleolithic paintings and surrounding rock walls in two Spanish caves revealed complex bacterial communities consisting of a high number of novel 16S rDNA sequence types and indicated a high biodiversity of lithotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of molecular techniques for identification of fungal communities colonising paper material
TL;DR: A DNA extraction protocol was introduced, which allowed the direct extraction of PCR-amplifiable DNA from samples derived from different kinds of paper, and Pure fungal strains were used to constitute a marker for further comparative investigations of historic papers.
