• Weathering and Deterioration (2011, background): “In addition to outdoor environments black fungi are also found on rock surfaces of caves and catacombs (Saarela et al. 2004) especially where the naturally high humidity was actively decreased in order to suppress algal growth on precious wall paintings.”
• Development of a biocidal treatment regime to inhibit biological growths on cultural heritage: BIODAM (2008, background): “members of Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Sinorhizobium genera, have been isolated from biodeteriorated stone samples ( Saarela et al. 2004 ).”
