Abstract
Nitrogen (N)-transferring microorganisms can exacerbate biodegradation of world cultural heritage. This forum article focuses on microorganisms with ammonia-oxidizing and related reactions, newly detected on stone monuments, with an emphasis on their ecological diversity, acid production, and mechanisms of biodeterioration. This analysis provides a new research framework for understanding biodeterioration and future conservation management.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Microbiology serves as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary forum for discussing various aspects of microbiology, spanning cell biology, immunology, genetics, evolution, virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology. In the rapidly evolving field of microbiology, technological advancements, especially in genome sequencing, impact prokaryote biology from pathogens to extremophiles, influencing developments in drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzyme research.
