Detecting cells with low RNA content colonizing artworks non-invasively: RNA-FISH

Abstract

Various non-invasive RNA-FISH methodologies were tested in this work. They seem to be good alternatives for analyzing the potential biodeteriogenic microorganisms thriving in CH objects.This work was co- financed by FCT Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia through the project "MICROTECH-ART- Microorganisms Thriving on and Endamaging Cultural Heritage -an Analytical Rapid Tool-" (PTDC/BBB-IMG/0046/2014) and by European Union, European Regional Development Fund ALENTEJO 2020 through the project HIT3CH - HERCULES Interface for Technology Transfer and Teaming in Cultural Heritage (ALT20-03-0246-FEDER-000004). Marina González-Pérez acknowledges FCT for the economic support through the post-doctoral grant SFRH/BPD/100754/2014
