Resumo

A deterioração fúngica é uma das principais ameaças à conservação de documentos em papel, comprometendo tanto a sua integridade física como estética. Apesar disso, muitas instituições carecem de investigação específica que avalie a eficácia dos métodos utilizados para controlar a biodeterioração fúngica. Este estudo avaliou a eficácia do etanol em concentrações de 70%, 75% e 80%, bem como da limpeza mecânica por aspiração, no controlo de Eurotium sp. e Penicillium sp., isolados de manuscritos históricos. Os tratamentos foram analisados tanto de forma independente como em combinação. Os resultados põem em causa recomendações tradicionais, ao demonstrar que a concentração de etanol a 70% não é totalmente eficaz contra Eurotium sp. e Penicillium sp., dois géneros fúngicos frequentemente encontrados em arquivos e bibliotecas. Destaca-se que o tratamento combinado, limpeza por aspiração seguida da aplicação de etanol a 80%, revelou uma eficácia particularmente elevada, evidenciando o seu potencial como estratégia viável para o controlo da biodeterioração em documentos históricos.

Biografias Autor

María Domínguez Rojas, Universidad Militar Nueva Granda

María Domínguez Rojas is an undergraduate Biology student at the Universidad Militar Nueva Granada. She is currently involved in a research project focused on the evaluation of natural extracts and essential oils from plants as antifungal agents for the conservation of movable cultural heritage. Her interests center on the development of ecological strategies for the control of biodeterioration, through the use of natural products and traditional knowledge from Latin America. This experience represents her first formal engagement with scientific research applied to heritage conservation and has strengthened her commitment to this interdisciplinary field that bridges biology, microbiology, and cultural heritage management.

Maria Alejandra García Luna, Universidad Militar Nueva Granda.

María Alejandra García Luna is an undergraduate Biology student at the Universidad Militar Nueva Granada. She has a strong interest in microbiology, particularly in the study of microorganisms and their application across different areas of biology. Throughout her academic training, she has participated in research experiences related to the conservation of cultural heritage, which have allowed her to explore the role of microorganisms in biodeterioration processes and their control. While her main focus lies within the broader field of microbiology, she is especially interested in applying this knowledge in interdisciplinary contexts such as heritage conservation, environmental health, and biological control.

Esra Keles , Department of Conservation and Archive

Esra Keleş was born in Istanbul and have a PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics from Istanbul Kültür University, where her doctoral research focused on the molecular identification of microbial communities responsible for the deterioration of historical manuscripts. She completed her undergraduate studies in Biology at Istanbul University, and later earned a master’s degree in Forest Entomology and Conservation with a thesis on The Damage And Control of Stegobium Paniceum (L.) to Manuscripts and Rare Printed Books. From 2009 to 2017, she worked at the Süleymaniye Manuscript Library, and since 2017, she has been working as a Book Pathologist at the Department of Conservation and Archive. Her areas of expertise include diagnosing and preventing biological deterioration in manuscripts, analyzing microbial communities, implementing integrated pest management strategies in library environments, and applying cold and anoxic disinfestation techniques. Keleş is also actively involved in the field of biocodicology, exploring how DNA and protein analyses can contribute to the preservation of historical manuscripts.
