Biocide-Containing Facades Alter Culture-Based Bacterial and Fungal Community Composition and Resistance Patterns to Octylisothiazolinone [PDF]

Microorganisms
Microbial communities are known to colonize biocide-free (BFFs) and even biocide-containing façades (BCFs) under various environmental conditions, leading to loss of value of façades due to biologically caused aging and discoloration. The first objective
