Abstract
The interest for natural extracts as biocides in medicine and food industry has grown in recent years. Yet, they are hardly little used for controlling microorganisms that affect cultural heritage materials. This paper was aimed at studying the biocide activity of extracts of Arctium lappa L. and Centaurea cyanus L. against microorganisms isolated from the indoor atmosphere of the National Archive of Cuba and photographic paper of the Historical Archive of the Museum of La Plata, Argentina. The hole-plate diffusion test was used to evaluate the effect. Natural extracts showed good activities.
