The aim of this research was to determine the accelerating effects of microorganisms on the biodeterioration of stone under air pollution and continental-cold climatic region in Erzurum, Turkey. Studies have been carried out on specimens of the Rustempasa Bazaar, the Lalapasa Mosque, the Erzurum Castle Mosque, the Double Minarets-Madrasah, the Great Mosque and the Haji Mehmet Fountain aged from 441 to 823 years old. The results showed that vegetative and reproductive (generative) forms of the microorganisms could develop during the winter months when the night time average temperature was even -25 degrees C. Also the reproductive forms had developed and the whole stone surface was covered with a biofilm caused by the microorganisms. Silicon, aluminum, calcium, potassium, titanium, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, iron, sodium, and niobium were found in the stones of the historical buildings with varying amounts through the SEM-EDS analysis. Some of these elements could be used as an energy resource for the microorganisms together with the air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particles on the stone surfaces. Of 21 isolates, 15 species from 6 bacterium genera and 5 species from 5 fungi genera plus 1 fungi genera were identified on the deteriorated stone surfaces even during the coldest months by microbial identification system (MIS) and these findings were tested by SEM investigations.
本研究的目的是确定在土耳其埃尔祖鲁姆空气污染和大陆寒冷气候区域下,微生物对石材生物劣化的加速作用。对鲁斯坦帕萨集市、拉拉帕萨清真寺、埃尔祖鲁姆城堡清真寺、双尖塔 - 宗教学校、大清真寺和哈吉·穆罕默德喷泉等有441至823年历史的建筑样本进行了研究。结果表明,在夜间平均温度甚至达到零下25摄氏度的冬季月份,微生物的营养体和繁殖体(生殖体)都能生长。而且繁殖体也已生长,整个石材表面都覆盖着由微生物形成的生物膜。通过扫描电子显微镜 - 能谱分析(SEM - EDS)发现,历史建筑的石材中含有硅、铝、钙、钾、钛、镁、锌、硫、铁、钠和铌等元素,含量各不相同。这些元素中的一些与石材表面的二氧化硫、氮氧化物和颗粒物等空气污染物一起,可作为微生物的能源。通过微生物鉴定系统(MIS),在即使是最冷的月份里,也在劣化的石材表面鉴定出了21个分离株,其中6个细菌属的15个种、5个真菌属的5个种以及1个真菌属,这些结果通过扫描电子显微镜研究得到了验证。
