Geomicrobiology of the built environment [PDF]

Nature Microbiology, 2017
Microbial colonization and growth can have significant impacts on the built environment, resulting in a range of effects, from discolouration and staining to biodeterioration and decay. In some cases, formation of biofilms, crusts and patinas may confer bioprotection of the substrate. This Perspective aims to discuss how geomicrobial transformations in
