Abstract:
Fungi are known to contribute to the development of drastic biodeterioration of historical and valuable cultural heritage materials. Understandably, studies in this area are increasingly reliant on modern molecular biology techniques due to the enormous benefits they offer. However, classical culture dependent methodologies still offer the advantage of allowing fungal species biodeteriorative profiles to be studied in great detail. Both the essays available and the results concerning distinct fungal species biodeteriorative profiles obtained by amended plate essays, remain scattered and in need of a deep summarization. As such, the present work attempts to provide an overview of available options for this profiling, while also providing a summary of currently known fungal species putative biodeteriorative abilities solely obtained by the application of these methodologies. Consequently, this work also provides a series of checklists that can be helpful to microbiologists, restorers and conservation workers when attempting to safeguard cultural heritage materials worldwide from biodeterioration.

Abstract:
The biodeterioration of painted walls have been associated with several biological mechanisms such as organic acid production and enzymatic activity of microorganisms amongst other factors. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the involvement of amylases and proteases from indigenous microbes on biodeteriorating painted walls. Microbial strains isolated from biodeteriorating painted walls of selected buildings in Lagos, Nigeria and previously characterized as belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Candida, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Cerrena and Meyerozyma were used in this study. Amylolytic and proteolytic activities at varying conditions of temperature, pH, incubation time and substrate concentrations were tested. To bridge the knowledge gaps regarding statistical quantification of enzymatic mechanisms in biodeterioration, the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used to test the hypothesis that amylolytic/proteolytic activities are equal at all conditions tested. The conditions for optimal activity were observed to be 24h, 37oC, pH 2 and 0.01% substrate concentration and 48h, 25oC, pH 2, and 1% substrate concentration for amylase and protease respectively. Wilcoxon signed rank test revealed that amylolytic and proteolytic activities do not impact aesthetics on painted walls equally at all environmental conditions considered.

Abstract:
With an impressive ability to survive in harsh environments, black fungi are an ecological group of melanized fungi that are widely recognized as a major contributor to the biodeterioration of stone cultural heritage materials. As part of the ongoing efforts to study the fungal diversity thriving in a deteriorated limestone funerary art piece at the Lemos Pantheon, a national monument located in Águeda, Portugal, two isolates of an unknown microcolonial black fungus were retrieved. These isolates were thoroughly studied through a comprehensive analysis based on a multi-locus phylogeny of a combined dataset of ITS rDNA, LSU, and rpb2, along with morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics. Based on the data obtained from this integrative analysis, we propose a new genus, Saxispiralis gen. nov., and a new species, Saxispiralis lemnorum sp. nov., in the recently described Aeminiaceae family (order Mycosphaerellales). Prior to this discovery, this family only had one known genus and species, Aeminium ludgeri, also isolated from deteriorated limestone. Additionally, considering the isolation source of the fungus and to better understand its potential contribution to the overall stone monument biodeterioration, its in vitro biodeteriorative potential was also evaluated. This work represents a significant contribution to the understanding of the fungal diversity involved in the biodeterioration of limestone heritage.

Abstract:
Research into the biodeteriorative potential of fungi can serve as an indicator of the condition of heritage items. Biodeterioration of canvas paintings as a result of fungal metabolic activity is understudied with respect to both the species diversity and mechanisms involved. This study brings new evidence for the physiology of fungi biodeteriorative capacity of canvas paintings. Twenty-one fungal isolates were recovered from four oil paintings (The Art Museum, Cluj-Napoca) and one gouache painting (private collection), dating from the 18th to 20th centuries. The species, identified based on the molecular markers Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS), beta-tubulin (tub2), or translation elongation factor 1 (TEF-1), are common colonisers of canvas paintings or indoor environments (e.g., Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., Alternaria spp.). Fungi enzymatic profiles were investigated by means of hydrolysable substrates, included in culture media or in test strips, containing components commonly used in canvas paintings. The pigment solubilisation capacity was assessed in culture media for the primary pigments and studied in relation to the organic acid secretion. Caseinases, amylases, gelatinases, acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, and β-glucosidase were found to be the enzymes most likely involved in the processes of substrate colonisation and breakdown of its components. Aureobasidium genus was found to hold the strongest biodeteriorative potential, followed by Cladosporium, Penicillium, Trichoderma, and Aspergillus. Blue pigment solubilisation was detected, occurring as a result of organic acids secretion. Distinct clusters were delineated considering the metabolic activities detected, indicating that fungi specialise in utilisation of certain types of substrates. It was found that both aged and modern artworks are at risk of fungal biodeterioration, due to the enzymatic activities’ diversity and intensity, pigment solubilisation capacity or pigment secretion.

Abstract:
Biodeterioration occurs through the availability of biotic and abiotic factors favoring the growth of harmful fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms on cultural heritage. Thus, biodeterioration mechanism has raised a global concern since it is commonly detected on cultural heritage buildings located in specific geographical locations such as southern European countries. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and OpenRefine for data cleaning by obtaining data from Scopus database of peer-reviewed publications to provide an overview of scientific literatures on biodeterioration. A total of 537 articles were analyzed within the period of 2018 – 2022 to acquire the current status of biodeterioration issue. 537 documents on biodeterioration were published by 1451 organizations from 68 countries. The co-authorship network map generated the trend of authors in biodeterioration research that identified the most productive author from China and organization from Japan. The co-occurrence network map of the keywords presented the significant interrelations of biodeterioration research field with the development of natural biocides to cope with the colonization of fungi and bacteria on cultural heritage. These results are expected to support the understanding of the intellectual structure of biodeterioration research.

Full text
Abstract:
The standard agar plate technique was found to be a good method for screening the presence of leachable antimicrobial additives in rubber compounds. However, this technique restricts the growth of microorganisms to the perimeter of the samples and is less satisfactory as a long term test. In a liquid medium, there should not be any problem for the microorganisms to gain access to the inorganic and organic nutrients as well as oxygen. Many experimental trials were carried out in liquid media under dynamic and static conditions with Streptomyces lipmanii NCIMB 9841 as test organism. This led to the development of the modified batch processes. The modified tests allowed experiments to be performed over a long period of time without concern of accumulation of toxins from the leachable antimicrobial additives in the rubber samples and the metabolites from the utilisation of carbon sources by the microorganisms. The test procedure developed proved to be very reproducible and repeatable. The use of neutral chemically defined media with no added carbon source, the absence of strong oxidation catalysts coupled with the use of proper control samples defined the least vigorous conditions for biodeterioration of rubber compounds. On the other hand, the degradation of the rubber compounds under field and semi-field tests is likely to be a combined effect of biodeterioration, hydrolytic degradation, leaching and oxidation of samples. Five strains of fungi and four strains of actinomycetes were tested against five carbon black-filled seal compounds. The types of rubbers used were based on natural, styrene/butadiene, peroxide-cured EPDM, sulphur-cured EPDM and acrylonitrile /butadiene rubbers. Among all the species tested, Nocardia was found to be the most aggressive group of microorganisms in affecting the rubber samples. The strains NCIMB 12811 and 12814 had activity towards vulcanised gum NR samples, whilst Nocardia asteriodes NCIMB 12082 was very capable of utilizing rubber additives. It was found that besides the physical dimensions, types and formulations of rubber compounds; test conditions such as temperature, agitation speed, pH; amount of rubber sample used per unit volume of test medium, and renewal or non-renewal of test media also played an important role in affecting the activities of microorganisms towards rubber compounds.

Prince, Edmund Lee. "Fungal biodeterioration of synthetic metal working fluids." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 1988. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/20019/.

Full text
Abstract:
A survey was undertaken to determine the relative incidence of fungal biodeteriogens in contaminated in—service samples of synthetic and oil emulsion metal working fluids, and a list of isolates is submitted. A technique for assessing the concentration of surface—active components of both synthetic and oil emulsion metal working fluids is described. Results obtained using this technique provided evidence of surfactant depletion in oil emulsion fluids as a result of growth of a mixed fungal inoculum, but this effect was not recorded when these isolates were grown in synthetic fluids. Synthetic metal working fluds of known composition were formulated and the ability of selected fungal isolates to utilise both these fluids and the individual components thereof as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen was assessed. The metal working fluid components triethanolamine and diethanolamine borate were found to be readily available nutrient sources for growth of the isolates, the extent of growth being limited by the availability of carbon rather than nitrogen. Varying the initial pH of the medium was found to have no significant effect upon the extent of growth recorded at initial pH values of 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. The use of respirometric techniques provided evidence to suggest that some of the enzymes involved in the fungal degradation of synthetic metal working fluid components might be inducible. The effect of fungal growth upon the composition of the complete synthetic metal working fluids was determined using the techniques of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas—liquid chromatography linked mass spectrometry. Results obtained using these techniques also provided evidence of the depletion of the triethanolamine and diethanolamine borate components of the complete fluids as a result of fungal growth.

Full text
Abstract:
Limestone built heritage is at risk from the effects of biofilms, a microbial community encapsulated in a matrix of sugars, protein and extracellular DNA. Although biofilm research has been carried out in Mediterranean regions, few studies cover temperate Northern Europe climates, or the UK. This study concentrates on bacterial colonisation of Lincoln limestone, a highly vulnerable building material, and identifies the species, their role in biodeterioration and the efficacy of biocides against them. As part of this study the core species which comprise the bacterial component of the limestone microbiome have been characterised for the first time; this has allowed the identification of non-core species which are significantly associated with damaged and undamaged surfaces. Four mechanisms of biodeterioration have been identified, one previously unidentified, and isolated species have been characterised as to whether they are biodeteriorative and the mechanisms of biodeterioration that they employ. Two species, Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens and Solibacillus silvestris, have been characterised as producing biofilm matrix which actively causes biomechanical damage to the oolitic limestone structure as opposed to the passive enhancement of physical weathering which has been previously associated with biofilm matrix. Species capable of biodeterioration have also been shown to be present on both damaged and undamaged surfaces, something which has not been previously investigated. Environmental sampling, species identification and characterisation of species for biodeterioration have all combined to identify markers of biodeterioration, ie both physical markers and biomarkers. Specifically, a surface pH of 5.5 or lower and the presence of B. licheniformis is indicative of biodeterioration with a proportionally higher level of M. luteus when comparing damaged and undamaged stone. Finally this study brings the literature on conservation methods up to date by testing biocides which are in current usage, as many biocides in the literature are discontinued. This study is also the first in the field to show their efficacy against biofilm encapsulated bacteria and their propensity for chemically disrupting the biofilm matrix.

Scheerer, Stefanie. "Microbial biodeterioration of outdoor stone monuments : assessment methods and control strategies." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2008. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/55804/.

Full text
Abstract:
Biodeterioration is the least understood decay mechanisms of outdoor stone monuments. Microbial colonisation is largely determined by the properties of the stone and environmental conditions. The literature on microorganisms on outdoor stone monuments and their decay mechanisms was reviewed. For the assessment and quantification of microbial deterioration, methods that can be carried out by cultural heritage conservators with limited microbiological skills were selected and adjusted for the application on outdoor stone monuments. To this end, the total biomass was quantified by a protein assay (Folin-Lowry method), its phototrophic contribution through chlorophyll a absorbance and the amount of extracellular substances (EPS) were assessed by carbohydrate quantification (phenol method). Microbial activity was measured through two different enzyme assays: fluorescein diacetate cleavage and dehydrogenase activity (INT reduction). In order to develop a long-term monitoring strategy, these parameters were tested in the morning (8 am) and in the afternoon (4 pm) on biofilms from a sunny and a shady sampling site on a limestone wall in the south of Mexico. The experiments were performed in the dry season and the rainy season. Changes in biofilm composition and activity during the day were very small, while seasonal changes were more pronounced. The largest differences could be seen in samples from the different sampling sites (sun and shade), where the microbial population had established over years of distinct environmental conditions. Variations in biofilm composition and activity exceeding such natural variation may indicate the necessity for an antimicrobial treatment. The choice of an antimicrobial agent is difficult and the ideal treatment does not exist. Of the various chemical antimicrobial agents tested (Mergal K14, Parmetol DF12, Troysan S97, Preventol R50 hydrogen peroxide and ethanol) on microbial biofilms on stone, ethanol (70%) was the most effective, as revealed by ATP measurements. A flexible, non-invasive in vivo system, employing the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri, was developed to assess sub-lethal effects of antimicrobial treatments and to test combined treatments for synergy. Various biocides and ultrasound (267 kHz, 20 kHz), alone and in combination, were tested for their effect on V. fischeri (Mergal K14, Parmetol DF12, Troysan S97, Preventol R50 hydrogen peroxide and ethanol) and a microbial biofilm on stone (Troysan S97, Preventol R50 and ethanol). The tests did not reveal synergistic effects however, a systematic, comprehensive study on chemical and/or physical methods might reveal an innovative approach towards a more environmentally friendly microbial eradication method for outdoor stone monuments. Long-term monitoring of the composition and activity of a microbial biofilm may provide data to determine if an antimicrobial treatment is necessary. If an antimicrobial intervention cannot be avoided, low-toxic substances, such as ethanol, should be considered first. For the evaluation of the success of an antimicrobial treatment, ATP measurement has proven to be a reliable and simple method that does not require specialised skills.

Thomas, J. L. "The role of Fusarium solani in the biodeterioration of a pharmaceutical product." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1986. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/848114/.

Full text
Abstract:
Fusarium solani, a mould normally associated with the biodeterioration of harvested crops and plants was identified as the species responsible for contamination and biodeterioration of an aqueous antacid formulation. The spoiled preparation was rendered vulnerable to opportunist pathogens during consumption and became implicated during several cases of infantile gastrointestinal infections. The Fusarium solani strain isolated was thought to be resistant to the antacid preservative system and capable of producing toxic metabolites during growth within the suspension. Experiments in submerged culture not only demonstrated the mould's resistance to the preservative Bronopol but highlighted its utilisation of the nitro group within that compound. Investigations failed to establish any links between this strain of Fusarium and the production of trichothecenes, however that it may become toxigenic under certain environmental conditions could not be ruled out. The action of the antacid suspension as a sporulation medium was assessed by examining the carbon/nitrogen ratio within the formulation and the effect individual ingredients had on the sporulation stimulus, this included monitoring the type of spores generated. The effects of pH on the induction of sporulation were also examined in shake flask culture. Members of the genus Fusarium can thus be directly involved in the biodeterioration (spoilage) of aqueous pharmaceutical suspensions. Their origin can be traced to damp conditions in the manufacturing environments of such products and are, therefore, not isolated to one specific manufacturing facility. Examination of other antacid suspensions has also indicated that this type of contamination, while not common, is certainly not rare. The reformulation of such products to preclude contamination by Fusarium solani would seem to be a necessary aspect of their future pharmaceutical development.

Abstract:
Animal hides are the basic raw material of the leather industry and they undergo rapid putrefaction unless "cured". This study investigated the role and interactive effects of three selected bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Clostridium histoly ticum and Clostridium sporogenes in in-situ cattle hide degradation using a model system set up for the purpose. The system consisted of 3cm diameter hide pieces contained in sealed jars and sterilised by ethylene oxide to remove resident microbes and inactivate autolytic tissue enzymes. The inocula were prepared either as individual cultures or as combinations of two inocula or all three inocula. Degradative changes during storage at 30°C were measured for up to 8 days using ten different parameters. Initial trials confirmed that the selected inocula were readily isolated from raw hides and could outcompete resident populations to produce putrefactive decomposition. Growth rates and enzyme profiles of the organisms and the effects of nutrients and reductants on their relative denaturative effects were used to standardise the system. Trials on the effects of ethylene oxide indicated the suitability of the method for hide and collagen sterilisation. The findings of in-situ trials with the selected inocula confirmed previous studies of protein putrefaction in that a bacterial succession was evident involving aerobic proteolytic bacteria, micro-aerophilic proteolytic bacteria and strictly anaerobic amino acid degrading bacteria. However, this study showed that the micro-aerophilic collagenase producing C. histolyticum degraded hides at a far greater rate when inoculated on its own than when in the presence of either or both of the other two inocula. It also demonstrated a bacterial antagonism between the two clostridia in which C. sporogenes prevented degradative changes occurring for up to 4-6 days possibly due to cysteine production by C. sporogenes. These findings have implications for hide preservation since maintenance of aerobic conditions and suppression of spore outgrowth could be used to delay growth of collagenase producing clostridia. The use of C. sporogenes as a biocontrol agent is also postulated. The model system was also used to examine salted hides during storage and these studies indicated that Halobacteriaceae do not produce collagenase but that inadequately salted hides could possibly be subject to degradation by delsulfovibrios.

Full text
Abstract:
Different techniques were studied to evaluate the presence of different microorganisms that played important roles in decay processes of historic stones. In that scope, limestones and sandstones from Nemrut Mount Monument, and marbles and andesites from Temple of Augustus were studied. For measurement of enzymatic activity, fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis method previously applied to assess soil microbial activity was carried out. Total microflora method based on countings of colony number was conducted for determination of the level of bacterial and fungal activity of stones. ATP bioluminescence method, developed for the field of hygiene monitoring, was carried out in order to detect global metabolic activity degree in historic stones. Most probable number (MPN) method was carried out to detect the number of microbial cells, namely nitrifying and sulphur oxidising bacteria which could take part in the decay processes. Moreover, fungi identification was done for determining occurance of detrimental species. Presence of lichenic and algal zones existed on stones of Nemrut Mount Monument and the presence of black discolorations on stones of Temple of Augustus was common. Results have shown that the bacterial and fungal activity was low, however considerable quantity of FDA hydrolyses has shown the importance of algal population in the stones of two studied historical sites. This study has proved that FDA hydrolyses, total microflora and MPN method were efficient for the evaluation of biodeterioration in historic stones.
