This volume focuses on recent developments in the investigation of the role of microbes associated with historic materials. During the past decade, the field of cultural heritage microbiology has experienced a revolution. New technologies, particularly in the field of genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics, have been developed that permit deeper insights into the identification of previously unknown or novel organisms and their metabolic processes. These innovations are being applied to detect biological processes underlying the deterioration of cultural heritage materials as well as in their remediation. and preservation. This volume will be useful to the many microbiologists, chemists, ecologists, curators and conservators who work to protect the world's cultural heritage.
