“…), capable of excreting nitrous and nitric acid and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria ( Thiobacillus spp.) which produce sulfuric acid leads to biocorrosion of the stone material (Gómez-Alarcón et al, 1995 ; Warscheid and Braams, 2000 ). The acid formed reacts with stone constituents to produce sulfate-based crusts which upon precipitation in pores of stone cause considerable stress in porewalls.…”

Since ages, architects and artists worldwide have focused on usage of durable stones as marble and limestone for construction of beautiful and magnificent historic monuments as European Cathedrals, Roman, and Greek temples, Taj Mahal etc. But survival of these irreplaceable cultural and historical assets is in question these days due to their degradation and deterioration caused by number of biotic and abiotic factors. These causative agents have affected not only the esthetic appearance of these structures, but also lead to deterioration of their strength and durability. The present review emphasizes about different causative agents leading to deterioration and application of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation as a novel and potential technology for dealing with these problems. The study also sheds light on benefits of microbial carbonate binders over the traditional agents and future directions.

“…Nitrifying bacteria were also found to be the predominant contributors to the deterioration of other stone materials [91,109,110]. These bacteria differ from the thiobacilli in that the former are capable of growth on nonimmersed surfaces such as buildings, while the latter require an aqueous environment in the presence of sulfate.…”
