...Subterranean Cultural Heritage sites suffer various conservation problems mainly due to their microclimatic conditions (stable temperature, high relative humidity and low irradiance); these, together with the impact of visitors, favor the establishment and proliferation of a highly diverse microbial community formed by cyanobacteria, bacteria and, to a lesser extent, by algae and fungi (Albertano, 2012; Albertano et al., 2004; Sanchez-Moral et al., 2005)....
