AbstractCalcifying cyanobacteria have colonized the tombs of Necropolis Carmona (Seville, SW Spain). Scytonema julianum (Frank) Richter was main colonizer cavities and able to thrive in most tombs, though differed considerably architecture exposure. grew on all surfaces not directly exposed air currents or long periods sunlight. The distribution Geitleria calcarea Friedmann more restricted; it found only one tomb, where coated nearly wall at dim end lighted zone. Calcification sheaths these...
The cyanobacterium Gloeothece PCC 6909 was cultured in BG 110 medium supplemented with gypsum black crusts removed from the cathedral of Seville, Spain. sulfate released to due dissolution progressively incorporated into carbohydrate sheath and used for balanced growth. Therefore, crust served as a continuous source cyanobacterium, suggesting that may have role cyanobacteria colonization blackened monuments urban environments.

ABSTRACT Based on classification and ordination of vegetational data recorded the Roman amphitheater Italica (S. Spain), compositional variation lichen communities is related to main ecological parameters: type substratum, solar irradiation eutrophication. The were further processed by a program automatic mapping, produce model showing patterns lichen-induced chromatic changes within amphitheater.

Ctenocladus circinnatus Borzi is a filamentous green alga found only in aquatic and saline environments. It seems to be adapted also for growth aerophytic moderately stuccos, which suggests that it more widely distributed than previously thought. The climatic conditions of the stucco surface-high light intensity temperature low water availability-prevent epilithic algal colonization but induce cryptoendolithic chasmoendolithic growth, facilitated by porosity material. In laboratory cultures...
In the last years, considerable studies on effect of phototrophic organisms (cyanobacteria, algae, lichens, mosses and vascular plants) cultural heritage properties have been carried out. The data indicate that these organisms, instead having an irrelevant role, actively participate in deteriorating processes artificial building materials. This paper reviews recent research mortar colonization biodeterioration.
The stuccos and concretes from the Roman city of Baelo Claudia, a relatively small location based on fishing industry (near present-day Tarifa, South Spain), have been studied. As consequence this study nature composition those materials causes their deterioration established. main cause stucco concrete decay is biodeterioration.
