Nitrocellulose is one of the most commonly used compounds in ammunition and paint industries and its recalcitrance to degradation has a negative impact on human health and the environment. In this study the capability of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 13541 to degrade nitrocellulose as binder in paint was assayed for the first time. Nitrocellulose-based paint degradation was followed by monitoring the variation in nitrate, nitrite and ammonium content in the culture medium using Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy. At the same time cell counts and ATP assay were performed to estimate bacterial density and activity in all samples. Infrared spectroscopy and colorimetric measurements of paint samples were performed to assess chemical and colour changes due to the microbial action. Microscope observations of nitrocellulose-based paint samples demonstrated the capability of the bacterium to adhere to the paint surface and change the paint adhesive characteristics. Finally, preliminary studies of nitrocellulose degradation pathway were conducted by assaying nitrate- and nitrite reductases activity in D.?desulfuricans grown in presence or in absence of paint. We found that D.?desulfuricans ATCC 13541 is able to transform nitrocellulose as paint binder and we hypothesised ammonification as degradation pathway. The results suggest that D.?desulfuricans ATCC 13541 is a good candidate as a nitrocellulose-degrading bacterium. 相似文献

The potential on N-vanillylnonanamide (NVN) in preventing the attachment of Pseudomonas stutzeri and a Bacillus cereus-group strain was investigated. NVN up to 852 μM was not toxic, nor was it an energy source for either organism. Microbial
attachment assays were carried out on glass and polylysine slides. with NVN being dispersed in or applied to the surfaces
using a polyurethane coating. NVN at 205 μM inhibited Bacillus adhesion on glass slides by 48% and the percentage did not significantly increase at 852 μM. NVN blended into or sprayed
onto the coating at 205 μmol/kg did not prevent adhesion. The compound is therefore not useful as an antifouling product under
the tested coating conditions. 相似文献

The Grande Albergo Ausonia &; Hungaria (Venice Lido, Italy) has an Art Nouveau polychrome ceramic coating on its façade, which was restored in 2007. Soon after the conservation treatment, many tiles of the façade decoration showed coloured alterations putatively attributed to the presence of microbial communities. To confirm the presence of the biological deposit and the stratigraphy of the Hungaria tiles, stereomicroscope, optical and environmental scanning electron microscope observations were made. The characterisation of the microbial community was performed using a PCR–DGGE approach. This study reported the first use of a culture-independent approach to identify the total community present in biodeteriorated artistic tiles. The case study examined here reveals that the coloured alterations on the tiles were mainly due to the presence of cryptoendolithic cyanobacteria. In addition, we proved that the microflora present on the tiles was generally greatly influenced by the environment of the Hungaria hotel. We found several microorganisms related to the alkaline environment, which is in the range of the tile pH, and related to the aquatic environment, the presence of the acrylic resin Paraloid B72® used during the 2007 treatment and the pollutants of the Venice lagoon. 相似文献

Feasibility of Removing Surface Deposits on Stone Using Biological and Chemical Remediation Methods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The study was conducted on alterations found on stone artwork and integrates microbial control and a biotechnological method
for the removal of undesirable chemical substances. The Demetra and Cronos sculptures are two of 12 stone statues decorating
the courtyard of the Buonconsiglio Castle in Trento (Italy). An initial inspection of the statues revealed putative black
crusts and highlighted the microbial contamination causing discoloration. In 2006, the Cultural Heritage Superintendence of
Trento commissioned us to study and remove these chemical and biological stains. Stereomicroscopy characterised the stone
of the sculptures as oolitic limestone, and infrared analyses confirmed the presence of black crusts. To remove the black
crusts, we applied a remediation treatment of sulphate-reducing bacteria, which removes the chemical alteration but preserves
the original stone and the patina noble. Using traditional and biomolecular methods, we studied the putative microbial contamination
and confirmed the presence of biodeteriogens and chose biocide Biotin N for the removal of the agents causing the discolouration.
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fluorescent in situ hybridisation established that Cyanobacteria and green algae genera
were responsible for the green staining whereas the black microbial contamination was due to dematiaceous fungi. After the
biocide Biotin N treatment, we applied molecular methods and demonstrated that the Cyanobacteria, and most of the green algae
and dematiaceous fungi, had been efficiently removed. The reported case study reveals that conservators can benefit from an
integrated biotechnological approach aimed at the biocleaning of chemical alterations and the abatement of biodeteriogens. 相似文献
