Journal ArticleDOI
Biodeterioration Risk Threatens the 3100 Year Old Staircase of Hallstatt (Austria): Possible Involvement of Halophilic Microorganisms.
TL;DR: The results clearly showed the presence of some cellulose degraders that may become active if the requirements for growth and the environmental conditions turn suitable; therefore, these microorganisms must be regarded as a threat to the wood.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Combined Approach to Assess the Microbial Contamination of the Archimedes Palimpsest
TL;DR: A combined approach, using molecular and microscopic techniques, was used to identify the microbiota associated with the Archimedes Palimpsest, an unusual parchment manuscript, and found that the phyla Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were associated with this ancient parchment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The molecular strategy used in this study is proposed as an effective monitoring system to evaluate the impact of the application of a bacterially induced carbonate mineralization as restoration/conservation treatment for ornamental stones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultivation and molecular monitoring of halophilic microorganisms inhabiting an extreme environment presented by a salt-attacked monument
TL;DR: Investigation of the cultivable and non-cultivable members of the microbial community present on the stonework of the medieval Chapel of St. Virgil reveals the presence of highly specialized microorganisms that were able to thrive and survive after several desalination and disinfection treatments in the extreme environment presented by the salt-attacked Chapel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid diagnosis of biological colonization in cultural artefacts using the MinION nanopore sequencing technology
TL;DR: Fungi, belonging to the genus Aspergillus and bacteria of the order Burkholderiales, proved to be the key factors in the biodeterioration of the damaged painting, and metagenomics showed to be successful for a rapid diagnosis.
