- Abstract:
- A methodology based on pulsed electromagnetic radiation in an unlicensed radiofrequency band is proposed to eliminate biodeteriogens from biofilms encrusting canvas of artistic interest. Molecular techniques allowed to identify species of bacteria and microfungi in the biofilms. Experimental results showed that the area covered by biofilm disappeared after exposure over five days.
