      abstract = {This second fully updated and extended edition of  Biotechnology and Conservation of Cultural Heritage  provides in-depth insights into the role of different  microorganisms and microbial compounds in biodeterioration,  conservation and restoration of artworks and artifacts.  Latest methods to detect, remove and prevent microbial  colonization on artwork surfaces and in air environments of  libraries and museums are discussed and illustrated by  engaging case studies. Furthermore, this edition covers new  case studies on Archaeobiology, exploring ways to perform  the molecular biology characterization, restoring and  protecting museum taxidermal specimens, preserving and  guaranteeing the future integrity. Finally, the use of  halloysite-nanotubes is investigated to set up innovative  protocols in consolidation and long-term protection of  waterlogged and archaeological wood. This book addresses to  Biologists, Microbiologists, Conservation Scientists and  Conservators who are interested in understanding the role  of microorganisms and bioactive molecules in conservation  projects.},
