Journal ArticleDOI

Microbes on building materials--evaluation of DNA extraction protocols as common basis for molecular analysis

Jörg Ettenauer, +6 more
- 15 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: The FastDNA Spin kit for soil showed to be the best DNA extraction method and could provide positive results for all tests with the three building materials and is suggested as a gold standard for quantification of indoor fungi and bacteria in building materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of high concentrations of nitrate from industrial wastewaters by bacteria.

Guadalupe Piñar, +6 more
- 01 May 1997 - 
TL;DR: Klebsiella oxytoca isolate 15 was isolated from the grounds of a nitration factory and was found to be tolerant to nitrate at concentrations up to 0.5 to 1 M, and was able to remove nitrate without accumulating nitrite.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow cytometry as a tool to assess the effects of gamma radiation on the viability, growth and metabolic activity of fungal spores

Nuno Mesquita, +8 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results support that flow cytometry is a valuable tool in assessing different biological parameters and biocide effects, as it allowed accurate determination of the viability, growth and metabolic activity of gamma-irradiated spores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Halophilic microorganisms are responsible for the rosy discolouration of saline environments in three historical buildings with mural paintings.

Jörg Ettenauer, +6 more
- 01 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The microbial communities in saline environments causing the rosy discolouration of mural paintings in three Austrian historical buildings are investigated using a combination of culture-dependent and -independent techniques as well as microscopic techniques to get a complete overview of this biodeterioration process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Halophilic bacteria are colonizing the exhibition areas of the Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo, Italy

Guadalupe Piñar, +6 more
- 27 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, Italy, contain over 1800 mummies dating from the 16th to 20th centuries AD, and many of the strains were pigmented ranging from yellow to a strong pink color, being directly related to the discoloration displayed by the materials.
