“…Thus, other art works, such as those in stone, wood, paper, and masonry, as well as those in more esoteric materials, such as leather, parchment, glass, and metal, will not be considered. For a more comprehensive treatment of the role of microorganisms in the degradation of our cultural heritage, the reader should refer to the reviews already published (2,6,12,13,20,29,30,36,46,55,56). The treatment of the subject will not be exhaustive but will focus on aspects that, in the writer's opinion, appear to be most interesting.…”

“…Analyses can monitor the activity of microbiological agents and alterations of artistic support on canvas painting, and on the filmogenic components, thus delimiting each type of organic material and the microorganisms in this support (Agrawal, Dhawan, & Garg, 1989;Bolívar, 1995;Bravery, 1988;Evans, Wales, Bratt, & Sagar, 1992;Gargani, 1968;Gaylarde & Moreno, 2006;Giacobini and Firpi, 1981;Ross, 1963;Strzelczyk, 1981). Other studies deal directly with the nature and composition of the organic materials of canvas paintings, and either focus on the composition of the textile support, or the agglutinants, pigments and protection layers of the pictorial substrate.…”

The study of the physiological action of microorganisms in artistic materials is one of the most interesting topics in biodeterioration nowadays. Pathologies and illnesses of organic and inorganic materials provoked by microorganisms can be treated by experts by a variety of preventive interventions. Artistic medicine encompasses the monitoring of the exhibition and storage of art, as well as proper environmental conditions and the regular cleaning of museums. Biodeterioration control is essential in order to prevent fungal and bacterial contamination in artwork. Biodeterioration of canvas paintings is a complex phenomenon, not well-known at the moment. Canvas paintings are created by several artistic techniques on textile supports that are not always kept in the best conditions, and the best parameters of preventive conservation are often not applied. Therefore, we need to research the agents and the main causes that provoke canvas painting biodeterioration. By applying new methodologies, we can identify the alterations and the treatments needed in order to manage the diverse materials employed in artwork correctly. Herein, we review the causes of biodeterioration that affect artwork, especially art created on textile supports. We also study the alterations of the natural filmogenic materials employed in traditional pictorial techniques, such as agglutinants and protection layers, and the biodeterioration agents that impact them. Additionally, we review current scientific methods employed for the identification of microbial species, and the types of alterations of the materials where the organisms grow. Finally, we summarize the different biocides and preventive conservation treatments that are currently employed.

“…Bacterial and fungal strains, obtained from the Spanish Collection of Type Cultures (CECT, Colección Española de Cultivos Tipo, Universidad de Valencia, Valencia, Spain), were chosen because they have been frequently found in biodeterioration studies of cultural heritage [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Bacteria were grown on culture plates of Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA, Scharlau) medium and were incubated at 28 °C for 24 h. Cultures were re-suspended in 2 mL of 0.1% Tween 80 solution (Aldrich). After centrifugation carried out for removing possible remains of the solid culture medium, bacterial suspensions were adjusted to 10 7 cells mL −1 .…”

“…The voltammetric response of verdigris, which was previously used for identification purposes [21], was studied here in a series of reconstructed egg tempera and egg-linseed oil emulsion paint films submitted to biological attack with different fungi (Acremonium chrysogenum, Aspergillus niger, Mucor roxii, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Trichoderma pseudokoningii) and bacteria (Arthrobacter oxydans, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Streptomyces cellulofans) typically involved in paint deterioration [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and compared with the response of CdS-based films. Voltammetric data have been complemented with attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) in order to gain information on the modification of chemical bonds of the binder upon biological attack and the formation of copper complexes.…”

It is reported the application of the voltammetry of microparticles (VMP), complemented with attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques, to monitor the deterioration of verdigris pictorial specimens under the action of different biological agents. This methodology would be of application for identifying the type of biological agent causing deterioration of paintings, which is an important problem affecting cultural heritage. The analysis of biodeterioration processes is complicated by the fact that the action of microorganisms can affect both pigment and binding media. The deterioration of pictorial specimens combining verdigris with egg and egg-linseed oil binders by Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus niger, Acremonium chrysogenum, Trychoderma pseudokoningi and Mucor rouxii fungi and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Arthrobacter oxydans and Streptomyces cellulofans bacteria were tested using sample-modified graphite electrodes immersed into aqueous electrolytes. A model is presented to describe the involved electrochemistry resulting in specific voltammetric features for the electrochemical reduction of verdigris associated to the proteinaceous and lipidic fractions of the binders. The experimental results and model proposed have been discussed and compared with those previously obtained for cadmium yellow reconstructed paint film specimens.
