“…The neutralization of leather caused an abundant development of microorganisms accompanied by chemical changes. The most active organisms in the decay were Chaetomium globosum, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, and Streptomyces [36]. The results obtained by EDX analysis of historical bookbinding leather and new leather sample (Goat) supported the fact that some changes happened in old leather under the bio-deterioration factors and caused changes in elements' rate.…”

The aim of the present study was to identify fungi that cause deterioration of historical leather in the storage room, compare quantitative compounds of elements present in historical leather and new ones, and check the ability of the isolated fungi from recently leather book to colonize new leather. The leather binding was evaluated by visual assessment, SEM, isolation and identification of fungi and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Goat skin was identified as the animal skin of the bookbinding, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Aspergillus tamarii, Eurotium chevalieri, Aspergillus fumigatus, Wallemia sebi, and Fusarium poae were the most dominant species of fungi found on the leather book binding. Based on the EDX analysis of leather binding and new leather sample, some changes happened in the old leather due to bio deterioration factors and causes of changes in the elements rate.

“…As most of the collagen-based artifacts, leather is frequently involved in bio-deterioration caused by microorganisms (Strzelczyk et al, 1989). The non-adequate environmental conditions of artifacts conservation constitute a crucial factor in the promotion and development of the bio-deterioration favored, in particular, by altered values of temperature and/or relative humidity (Strzelczyk et al, 1987(Strzelczyk et al, , 1997Montanari et al, 2012).…”

Effects of the Ionizing Radiation Disinfection Treatment on Historical Leather

et al. 2020

Microorganisms often cause significant damage on historical objects. The archive or library materials as well as textile or leather artifacts suffer serious attacks that need appropriate care treatments. Several biocide processes have been implemented but often their application does not preserve the material of the good. The objective of this work is the disinfection through ionizing radiation of leather wallpaper from the museum building Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia (Rome, Italy). The controlled sterilization treatments were carried out using X-ray beams to eliminate the microorganisms present on the leather and maintaining unchanged the properties of the constituent material. Some fragments of decorated leather wallpaper, dating back to the 1700s, were irradiated with X-rays up to 5,000 Gy. The amount of microorganisms was evaluated by microbiological analysis before and after X-ray irradiation treatments to identify the dose that inhibits the bacterial load. It will be shown how the results obtained by the application of different chemical-physical techniques (Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Light Transmission Analysis) have helped in the evaluation of the impact of the X-rays on leather chemical and physical integrity.

“…Fungal growth and protease activity have also displayed the ability to degrade proteins, such as collagen (Abuzinadah and Read ; Strzelczyk et al . ; Read ; Walton ). One of the most common saprotrophic fungi, Chaetomium globosum , may require a cellulose substrate for abundant growth and reproduction (Guarro et al .…”
