Background: Environmental monitoring of airborne filamentous fungi is necessary to reduce fungal concentrations in operating theaters and in controlled environments, and to prevent infections. The present study reports results of a surveillance of filamentous fungi carried out on samples from air...

Research about the role of the fungi in the possible deterioration of cultural heritage contributes to the development of protocols regarding the evaluation of microclimatic conditions in various environments. The principal aim of the study was to provide information about the fungal community in a ...

The emergence of novel or recurring pathogens and the multi-resistance of certain species towards antibiotics have led us to the surveillance of the microbial prevalence in the hospital's air. This study has deployed a methodological demonstration of the prominence of nosocomial pathogens in the...

The aim of this study was to identify and quantify the airborne fungal spore content in the Cathedral of Jaén (South Spain). The evaluation of the microclimatic conditions and their relationship with the presence of airborne fungal spores in different indoor areas was also tested. Airborne fungal...

Cultural heritage has a cultural significance, which refers to the aesthetic value of the heritage asset, the historical or social value of monuments for past, present or future generations. In conservation areas where there are open environment conditions, there are ecological producers...

Objective: To investigate the airborne microbial content in the temporary exhibition halls of a museum so as to evaluate the biological-origin indoor air pollution. Methods: The air-borne microorganisms in the temporary exhibition halls on different floor of China Three Gorges Museum were sampled...

Biological specimens play an important role in cultural exchange, science popularization, scientific research and economic window, but the preparation and preservation technology system of biological specimens is relatively unsafe and inefficient. Mold grows seriously on animal specimens, which is...

Indoor environment is significant with respect to human health especially if it is concerned when the building is v. Aim of very old. In the present study was to assess the presence of airborne fungi at an old building in Kolkata India where lots of tourists are exposed every day. Residence of...

Fungi play a considerable role in deterioration/degradation of cultural heritage due to their enormous enzymatic activity. A total of 112 fungal isolates were identificated from selected archaeological wood objects located at different areas (Islamic Art Museum, Storage area of Cheops's Solar Boat, ...

There is currently limited research available on the secondary metabolites of moulds in workplaces. The aim of this study was to determine the mould contamination in museums (N=4), composting plants (N=4) and tanneries (N=4) and the secondary metabolite profiles of Alternaria, Aspergillus and ...
