- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the microorganism involved in the biodeterioration of the paints and its sensitivity against different biocides. It says that the samples which were collected from the local biodeteriorated paints were serially diluted in sterile water and spread on Potato Dextrose Agar and nutrient agar for 448 hours to isolate fungal and bacterial strains. It adds that more sensitivity against different biocides is shown by fungal strains as compared to bacteria. Moreover, the most effective to kill the microorganisms isolated from biodeteriorated paints is mercury chloride (HgCl2).
