Destruction of Monuments' Materials by Organic Acids – Micromycetes Metabolites

Abstract:

The article describes the results of an experiment, that was conducted in the Biological Institute laboratory of Staint-Petersburg State University in Peterhof. The purpose of the experiment was to study the destruction processes of lime plaster and lime masonry mortar samples under the action of different organic acids, which are metabolic products of fungi.
