This open access book offers a comprehensive overview of the role and potential of
microorganisms in the degradation and preservation of cultural materials (e.g. stone  metals 
graphic documents  textiles  paintings  glass  etc.). Microorganisms are a major cause of
deterioration in cultural artefacts  both in the case of outdoor monuments and archaeological
finds. This book covers the microorganisms involved in biodeterioration and control methods
used to reduce their impact on cultural artefacts. Additionally  the reader will learn more
about how microorganisms can be used for the preservation and protection of cultural artefacts
through bio-based and eco-friendly materials. New avenues for developing methods and materials
for the conservation of cultural artefacts are discussed  together with concrete advances in
terms of sustainability  effectiveness and toxicity  making the book essential reading for
anyone interested in microbiology and the preservation of cultural heritage.
