Resumen:
Experiments were designed (1) to investigate the bioadhesion, biofilm formation, foxing, and micropitting in documentary collections, (2) to assess the risk of biodeterioration, (3) to investigate the environmental microbial concentration, and (4) to study the influence of environmental factors in biodeterioration of documentary heritage in three archives. The importance of this work in the field of biodeterioration of documentary heritage was verified by bioadhesion and biofilms formation by microorganisms isolated from the collections under study. Bacillus sp. and Scopulariopsis sp. isolated from paper books showed considerable evidence of attacking the paper structure and of pigment production, constituting a hazard to the loss of documentary heritage.
