“…This new application support is able to reduce risks to the fresco also 389 because minimizes the volume of water filtering inside the fresco and the time of contact. The fact 390 that they clean so fast is important since it has been demonstrate that long periods of contact times 391 causes damage to the art work like precipitation of sulfide acids when sulfate-reducing bacteria are 392 used (Ranalli et al 2000), or swelling and detachment of wall painting fragments (Lustrato et al 393 2012). 394 395…”

“…Although microorganisms have often been associated with detrimental effects on the integrity of stone structures, affecting mineral integrity or exacerbating powerful physical processes of deterioration (Papida et al, 2000), there is an increase of evidence that they could be used to reverse the deterioration processes on historical objects of art (Atlas et al, 1988; Lal Gauri et al, 1989b; Orial et al, 1992; Castanier et al, 1999; Perito et al, 1999; Ranalli et al, 1999). …”

Since ages, architects and artists worldwide have focused on usage of durable stones as marble and limestone for construction of beautiful and magnificent historic monuments as European Cathedrals, Roman, and Greek temples, Taj Mahal etc. But survival of these irreplaceable cultural and historical assets is in question these days due to their degradation and deterioration caused by number of biotic and abiotic factors. These causative agents have affected not only the esthetic appearance of these structures, but also lead to deterioration of their strength and durability. The present review emphasizes about different causative agents leading to deterioration and application of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation as a novel and potential technology for dealing with these problems. The study also sheds light on benefits of microbial carbonate binders over the traditional agents and future directions.
