Design and Experimental Evaluation of a New RNA-FISH Probe to Detect and Identify Paenibacillus sp.

24 February 2022

The article discusses the use of Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) as a powerful tool for studying biodeterioration in cultural heritage (CH). Specifically, it highlights the importance of detecting and identifying biodeteriogenic microorganisms, such as Paenibacillus spp., which pose a threat to the preservation of CH objects. The FISH technique allows for in situ analysis, enabling the rapid and specific identification of individual microbial cells without the need for culture isolation. By utilising probes like Pab489 designed for Paenibacillus sp., researchers can efficiently detect and identify target microorganisms associated with

Charcoal or black stone? Reconstructions as a tool to study the behaviour of dry underdrawing materials within the paint structure of sixteenth century panel paintings
