Environmental Microbial diversity after biocide-based treatments
The development of diagnostic methods to accurately assess the effects of treatmentson lithobiont colonization remains a challenge for the conservation of cultural heritage.In this study, we tested the efficacy of biocide-based treatments on microbialcolonization including bacteria and fungi of a dolostone quarry, in the short (after 3 months) and long-term (after 1 and 2 years).
