Biological colonization patterns on the ruins of Angkor temples (Cambodia) in the biodeterioration vs bioprotection debate

TLDR
Light forest cover seems beneficial for the conservation of the Angkor monuments since it reduces evaporation processes, but further studies should be carried out so as to find an optimal balance between contrasting factors.

Microbial deterioration and sustainable conservation of stone monuments and buildings

TL;DR: In this article, the role of microbes in the deterioration processes, the biochemical mechanisms involved and possible strategies for sustainable conservation of stone monuments and buildings are discussed, as well as how microbes contribute to the biodeterioration processes through their activities and biogeochemical cycles of elements.

Controlling biodeterioration of cultural heritage objects with biocides: A review

TL;DR: This new generation of biocides is much smaller in size and extremely active to damage DNA or RNA, and green biocide from natural sources offer an alternative to chemical ones, having low toxicity compared to chemically synthesizedBiocides.

Natural biocides for the conservation of stone cultural heritage: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive literature review on natural biocides for controlling bio-deterioration of stone using peer-reviewed articles between 1986 and 2018 is presented. But the most tested organisms were fungi, followed by cyanobacteria and algae, resulting in a lack of a robust and coherent assessment of best practices.

The Role of Fungi and Lichens in the Biodeterioration of Stone Monuments

TL;DR: In this paper, a review elucidates current knowledge on the significant role of fungi and lichens in the biodeterioration of stone monuments and proposes an interesting hypothesis involving the secretion of siderophores like compounds.

Higher diversity and abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea than bacteria detected at the Bayon Temple of Angkor Thom in Cambodia

TL;DR: Based on the community and abundance analysis, nitrogen cycling plays an important role in contributing to deterioration of sandstone monuments at Angkor Thom in Cambodia under tropical climate.
