摘要:Mitigation of fungal biodeterioration on paper documents and artworks represents a challenge
to conservators worldwide. Numerous lists of fungal species have been identified from
paper collections, but are those species responsible for the respective biodeterioration phenomena
or just environmental contaminants? The present work was aimed at obtaining an
association between specific fungal stains and causative fungal species. 23 stains from three
paper documents were sampled. Fungal structures observed in situ with optical and scanning
electron microscopy were compared with the identification of isolates by molecular
biology tools. Correlation between the observed fungal structures and the identified fungal
isolates was achieved, varying from 13% to 64% of the samples within the three studied documents.
Grey/black and dark brown stains were associated with Chaetomium globosum, C. murorum,
Penicillium chrysogenum, P. commune, Myxotrichum def lexum and Stachybotrys chartarum.
Eurotium rubrum was isolated from a foxing stain and Penicillium citrinum was identified on
light orange stains.
