Abstract

The use of microbiological high-throughput molecular methods allowed an unprecedented level of knowledge about the microbial responsible for parchment deterioration and their dynamics. The aim of this study discussed how metagenomics helped to get insights into parchment biodeterioration so far, but also to get a perspective of their possible future use in the study and preservation of an important part of our cultural heritage.
