A Brief Overview of the Studies on Fungal Deterioration of Monuments in Turkey

Abstract

Cultural heritages are at risk of biodeterioration caused by diverse populations of
microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, algae, lichens and
cyanobacteria. For example, stone monuments
may be discolored and degraded by growth and activity of microorganisms.
Especially fungal communities cause aesthetic and structural damage. The
fungal deterioration of stone monuments in many countries has become a serious
threat for their existence. A brief overview of work
on fungal deteriorations on stone monuments in Turkey, including recent studies
resulting from molecular biology, is presented and fungal species causing
degradation are discussed.
