Abstract
The microbiota present in cultural heritage objects, made by diverse inorganic and organic materials and inserted into particular environment, represents a complex and dynamic ecosystem composed by bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, algae and lichens, which can induce decay by biological mechanisms. To control the microbial growth several methods are being applied such as mechanical and physical processes and chemical biocides. However, these methods have several weaknesses like be dangerous to handle, material incompatibility or produce environmental and health hazards. Therefore, the identification of effectively biodeteriogenic agents and the design of mitigation strategies directed to these agents without prejudice to historical materials, to the environment and to operators, taking into account the microbial community’s dynamics, is an important challenge to control biodeterioration of cultural heritage. Bacteria, in particular Bacillus spp. are worth for the creation of new green biocides solutions because they produce a great variety of secondary metabolites including ribosomally and non-ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, known to possess antagonistic activities against many biodeteriogenic fungi and bacteria. The discovery of new safe active compounds and green nanotechnology for direct application in cultural heritage safeguard can in a close future contribute to potentiate a new generation of biocides and safe sustainable methods for cultural heritage.

1 Biodeterioration of Cultural Heritage Materials
Biodeterioration of Cultural Heritage materials has been neglected for a long time since it was previously believed that detriment was mainly due to chemical and physical processes. Over the last decades, it has been recognized that the action of microorganisms is a critical factor in the deterioration of Cultural Heritage that needs to be considered (Caldeira et al. 2015). To fully understand the role of biodeterioration/biodegradation processes and the deleterious effects on cultural assets it is fundamental to characterize the microbiota and to identify the microorganisms present. Furthermore, it is a key step to define efficient preventive conservation approaches and strategies to protect monuments and artworks from microbial re/colonization (Barresi et al. 2017; Rosado et al. 2013a, 2017; Piñar and Sterflinger 2009; Salvador et al. 2016, 2017).
The characterization of microbial communities, through detection and identification of microorganisms present on cultural assets can be carried out by means of specific complementary methods and new processes and strategies are constantly being developed. In the near past, research carried out in this field relied mainly on classical culture-based methodologies which are time consuming and omit slow growing and uncultivable microorganisms that may account for more than 90% of the microflora present (Amann et al. 2001; Moter and Göbel 2020). Recently, this major drawback has been tackled by the introduction of culture-independent methods based in molecular approaches to study microorganisms which are more sensitive and require smaller amounts of samples than the former (Rosado et al. 2013a, 2014a) including Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), MicroSatellite Primer-Polymeric Chain Reaction (MSP-PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) (González and Saiz-Jiménez 2005), RNA-FISH (Gonzalez et al. 2014, 2017; Vieira et al. 2014, 2018) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) (Caldeira et al. 2015; Dias et al. 2018; Rosado et al. 2014a, 2015, 2020). Furthermore, one has to take into account that the colonization and proliferation of microorganisms (like bacteria, fungi, algae and lichens) on heritage materials are influenced by microclimatic conditions such as relative humidity, temperature and light and by the intrinsic chemical nature of the support material (Pangallo et al. 2009).
Figure 6.1 shows several examples of microbial presence in some heritage materials with obvious signs of biodegradation and aesthetic damage.
Although nowadays biodeterioration is well recognized in the overall deterioration process of cultural heritage, the specific role of the different microbial species that compose the most biodeteriogenic agents in communities is not yet well understood. Many microorganisms produce serious damage in historic materials, which are decomposed by the action of specific enzymes and organic acids (Urzì and De Leo 2007; Rosado et al. 2013a, 2014b, 2015). Fungi are especially dangerous due to the fact their hyphae can easily proliferate inside heritage materials and their spores, in a dormant state, are usually present and may germinate. Furthermore, fungi can produce carboxylic acids (e.g., oxalic, citric, malic, acetic, gluconic and tartaric acids) which can enhance biochemical attack (Fomina et al. 2010; Hien et al. 2012; Rosado et al. 2013b, c). As reported in the literature a wide variety of fungi of the genera Alternaria, Aureobasidium, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Curvularia, Drechslera, Fusarium, Gliomastix, Penicillium, Trichoderma, are abundant in deteriorated objects (Rosado et al. 2013a, 2014a; Sterflinger 2010). The development of fungi can induce discolouration and deterioration of surfaces, leading to the appearance of stains that alter the colour and hyphae penetration in materials may lead to detachment of fragments. Bacterial growth is frequently associated to the formation of biofilms, promoting discolouration of materials and pigments (Abdel-Haliem et al. 2013; Guiamet et al. 2011; Milanesi et al. 2006) but some metabolic compounds like oxalates and carotenes are also attributed to bacterial presence (Rosado et al. 2013a, b, 2014a, 2016) and the production of extracellular enzymes can also affect important materials, namely proteinaceous compounds in easel paintings (Salvador et al. 2019).
As an illustration, Figs. 6.1 and 6.2 show the major bacterial and fungal genera present in four easel paintings, with visible signs of degradation, all stored in the same reserve room (Fig. 6.3).
Bacterial core microbiome for the most abundant genera is composed by Bacillus, Brevundimonas, Caulobacter, Corynebacterium, Enhydrobacter, Lactococcus, Mesorhizobium, Methylobacterium, Micrococcus Paenibacillus, Phenylobacterium, Phyllobacterium, Propionibacterium, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, Reyranella, Roseomonas, Sphingomonas, Staphylococcus, Stenotrophomonas and Variovorax. Fungal core shows the presence of the genus Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Kazachstania, Malassezia, Penicillium and Zygosaccharomyces.
In fact, biodeteriogenic microorganisms cause serious aesthetical and structural damages in building materials, paintings, books or objects of inestimable value (see Fig. 6.1) which bring high expenses for museums and city councils (Allsopp 2011; Pangallo et al. 2009; Sterflinger 2010; Caldeira et al. 2018). To control the microbial growth several approaches are being applied such as mechanical and physical methods and chemical biocides (Allsopp et al. 2004; Barresi et al. 2017; Favero-Longo et al. 2017; Kakakhel et al. 2019; Pena-Poza et al. 2018; Quagliarini et al. 2018; Sanza et al. 2015).
However, these methods have several weaknesses: (i) physical methods can be dangerous to handle and promote deterioration of the object to preserve (Abdel-Haliem et al. 2013; Bosch-Roig et al. 2013; Scheerer et al. 2009; Tiano 2002); (ii) mechanical methods do not completely eradicate the microorganisms and it is not possible to apply to all materials (Sanza et al. 2015); and (iii) most chemical biocides while effective produce environmental and health hazards (Allsopp et al. 2004; Young et al. 2008; Cámara et al. 2011). So, the importance of carrying out proper remediation action for microbiologically contaminated historic materials is of vital importance.
The identification of effectively biodeteriogenic agents and the design of mitigation strategies directed to these agents without bias to historical materials, to the environment and to operators, taking into account the perspective of the microbial communities dynamics is a major challenge to control the biodeterioration of cultural heritage and where much remains to be done.
2 Bacterial Green Biocides for Cultural Heritage
According to the European legislation, a biocide can be defined as “a chemical substance or microorganism intended to destroy, deter, render harmless or exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means”. Unfortunately, many traditional biocides used in cultural heritage may be dangerous for human health and the environment, while they differ in their toxicological profile, as EU databases indicate (https://echa.europa.eu). The protective solutions based on the use of these toxic chemicals face increasing restrictions due to the possibility of accumulation in animal tissues (Leifert et al. 1995).
Many commercial biocides are synthetic, mainly composed by mixtures with a range of formulation additives, generally formed by quaternary ammonium compounds or other nitrogen-containing compounds, urea, benzalkonium chloride and phenol derivatives (Barresi et al. 2017; Coors et al. 2018; Favero-Longo et al. 2017; Fernandes 2006). Copper, gold, platinum, silver, titanium, zinc metal nanoparticles are also applied in the last few years (Barresi et al. 2017; Ruggiero et al. 2020).
There are also naturally occurring biocides classified as natural biocides, derived from, e.g., bacteria (Caldeira et al. 2011a; Chena et al. 2020; Colombo et al. 2019; Junier and Joseph 2017; Mariana et al. 2020; Silva et al. 2014), fungi (Hooker et al. 1994; Massart and Jijakli 2007; Suárez et al. 2007) and plants (Arantes et al. 2019a, b; Chien et al. 2019; Jeong et al. 2018; Silva et al. 2019 Jeong et al. 2018; Palla et al. 2020). A review by Fidanza and Caneva (2019) gives a description of important natural biocides for the conservation of stone in cultural heritage. Controlled release systems of biocides by encapsulation in silica were also developed for several biocides, both commercial and natural, like Biotin T and New Des 50 (Dresler et al. 2017), zosteric acid sodium salt, usnic acid (Ruggiero et al. 2020), among others.
In heritage context, biocides are intended to limit the microbial growth and be useful in extending the life of heritage objects but material compatibility is a critical factor to be considered. Moreover, green and non-toxic biocides are eco-friendly and promising alternatives to chemical industrial biocides that allow to avoid unnecessary costs and risks. Their production and application do not imply the implementation of a risk-management protocol for toxic compounds which is an advantage in the field of conservation and restoration.
Therefore, it is crucial to develop green biocides compatible with historic materials that allow the elimination, inhibition and prevention of microbiological contamination.
Over the last years, some bioactive metabolites with potential applications in agriculture and pharmaceutical industries (Lowes et al. 2000; Walker et al. 1995), with a large spectrum of antimicrobial action have been reported. In agriculture the biological control of some pests has been carried out for decades through the introduction of bacteria in the soil or directly in the cultures. In recent years, interest in the biological control of phytopathogenic fungi has increased considerably because of the public concern to decrease the use of chemical pesticides and because there are some diseases that are hardly controllable by other strategies (Caldeira et al. 2011a). Besides the biocide effect, surfactins and fengycins of Bacillus subtilis prevented also the adhesion of competitive organisms on the surface of plant roots (Falardeau et al. 2013).
Mechanism and metabolite studies involved in this biological control often choose the use of bacteria (Beltran-Gracia et al. 2017), namely Bacillus spp. These microorganisms produce a variety of secondary metabolites, specifically antibiotics of peptide nature with antimicrobial properties (Caldeira et al. 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011a, b). The antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal, anticarcinogenic and immunomodulating properties of lipopeptides can help to solve problems in medicine and agriculture, and the creation of an ecologically balanced environment (Maksimova et al. 2020).
A successful methodology to produce new green biocide solutions was recently developed (Silva et al. 2015, 2016a, b, 2017, 2019; Salvador et al. 2016; Rosado et al. 2019) exploring the potentialities of bioactive metabolites produced by Bacillus spp. in the cultural heritage safeguard field.
The Bacillus species are rich in biodiversity, constituting important repository bioresources, being worth for the creation of green biocides because they produce a great variety of secondary metabolites including ribosomally and non-ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, known to possess antagonistic activities against many biodeteriogenic fungi and bacteria (Berezhnayaa et al. 2019; Leifert et al. 1995; Jin et al. 2020; Medeot et al. 2020; Mikkola et al. 2004; Yazgan et al. 2001). Bacillus subtilis; B. amyloliquefaciens, B. pumilus, B. licheniformis, B. methylotrophicus, B. atrophaeus, B. laterosporus, B. paralicheniformis, B. lehensis, Paenibacillus terrae, P. peoriae, P. polymyxa, P. larvae, P. mucilaginosus, and P. bovis are probably the main producers of lipopeptides, which are known for their antifungal properties (Berezhnayaa et al. 2019; Caldeira et al. 2006, 2007, 2011a; Cawoy et al. 2015; Meena and Kanwar 2015; Moyne et al. 2001; Ongena and Jacques 2008; Tsuge et al. 2001; Zhao and Kuipers 2016).
Usually, three different classes of bioactive peptides can be distinguished: antimicrobial lanthipeptides ribosomally synthesized, such as subtilin, entianin, ericins, clausin, subtilomycin, thuricins, mersacidin, amylolysin, haloduracin, lichenicidin and cerecidins (Barbosa et al. 2015); and non-ribosomally synthesized antifungal peptides, such as bacilysin and rhizocticin or antifungal lipopeptides, such as surfactins, iturins and fengycins, bacillomycin, bacilysin, ericin, mersacidin, mycosubtilin, zwittermicins and kurstakins (Caldeira et al. 2008; Pabel et al. 2003; Rai et al. 2020).
Surfactin, iturin, bacillomycin D, fengycin and lichenysin from Bacillus species, rhamnolipids from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and daptomycin from Streptomyces roseosporus are among the most studied lipopeptides (Beltran-Gracia et al. 2017) and the gene clusters of the Bacillus lipopeptides encoding the surfactin, iturin and fengycin, families have been described and summarized in recent papers (Aleti et al. 2015; Abderrahmani et al. 2011; Deng et al. 2020; Othoum et al. 2018). These non-ribosomally synthesized compounds are amphiphilic cyclic biosurfactants that have many advantages over other biocides: low toxicity, biodegradability and environmentally friendly characteristics (Caldeira et al. 2011a). It is thought that lipopeptides act in the cell membrane of the target organism forming pores and producing an imbalance in the movement of ions both into and out, damaging the cell and producing a lethal effect. This mode of action makes it difficult for any target microorganism to gain resistance to the lipopeptide, which is a great advantage compared to other toxic compounds (Inès and Dhouha 2015; Płaza and Achal 2020; Silva et al. 2016a). These interesting properties are bringing lipopeptides to the spotlight of heritage research and testing (Caldeira et al. 2015).
The genus Bacillus includes a wide variety of species used industrially. Bacillus spp. present a great metabolic versatility, developing in almost all natural environments, the high area/volume ratio of these microorganisms allows a quick transfer of nutrients between the external environment and the interior of the cells. The resistance of spores to temperature, dehydration, radiation and other adverse environmental conditions confer a selective advantage on their survival. Some of these microorganisms can be grown in extreme temperature and pH conditions and produce stable products in these environments. The great physiological diversity of Bacillus spp., associated with the fact that most are not pathogenic, are easy to manipulate, good secretors of proteins and other metabolites and easily cultivable, makes them quite attractive for industrial applications (Arbige et al. 1993). Cultures of these microorganisms can be carried out in bioreactors, promoting a production of the active compounds. Some studies limiting their physiological growth by nutritional conditions, namely the carbon and nitrogen source, suggest an association between the lipopeptide production and Bacillus sporulation (Besson et al. 1987; Caldeira et al. 2008; Chevanet et al. 1986, Gonzalez-Pastor et al. 2003) evidencing higher antagonistic compounds production in cultures. Caldeira et al. (2011b, c), using an artificial intelligence approach to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens cultures, performed an Artificial Neural Network model addressing the antifungal activity of compounds produced, the Bacillus sporulation and biomass concentration obtained with different aspartic acid concentration like nitrogen source and different incubation time of cultures. This model was used to establish the operating conditions that maximize production of iturinic antimicrobial compounds. The combination of bioinformatics technology with proteomics based on mass spectrometry has shown that the synthesis of secondary metabolites from Bacillus can be regulated by quorum-sensing systems (Sandrin et al. 2013), allowing to increase the production yields.
The control of biodegradation processes in heritage context is of utmost importance, so the high scale production of these green compounds is a promising alternative. However, only few studies (Borrego et al. 2012; Favero-Longo et al. 2017; Silva et al. 2016a; Sterflinger 2010; Urzì and De Leo 2007) have been conducted to assess the efficacy of biocides in heritage context and these are mostly on the application of industrial chemical biocides which present toxicity. To meet the public concern to reduce the use of general chemical pesticides as biocides and the professional need for more effective and safer biocides, the discovery of new bioactive molecules and the development of environmentally friendly and safe new biocides tailored by biotechnological approaches to be used in conservation prevention and treatment and as additive for new products (e.g. paints, binders and consolidants) is fundamental.
A review by Rai et al. (2020) presents a comprehensive overview of significant lipopeptides produced by plant microbiome and their role in disease control and antagonism against phytopathogens in order to evaluate their potential for future explorations as antimicrobial agents.
In the field of heritage preservation, research undertaken at HERCULES Lab has enabled the production of new biocides from liquid cultures of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (GENBank AY785775) previously isolated from healthy Quercus suber and displaying high levels of antagonistic properties against filamentous fungi that attack forest industrial products (Caldeira et al. 2011a). These amphiphilic biosurfactants based on cyclic lipopeptides (Fig. 6.4), non-ribosomal produced by multi-enzymatic complexes, have shown a large spectrum of fungal and bacterial inhibition displaying inhibition halos greater than commercial products and lower minimal inhibitory concentrations.
Furthermore, the new biocides are harmless and handling safe, acting through a membrane breakdown mechanism of the biodeteriogen films rather than an inhibitory/toxicity mechanism. These kind of compounds, made of amino acids and a fatty acid, are easily biodegradable (Cho et al. 2003) and non-toxic (Silva et al. 2016a).
Another interesting characteristic of antagonistic lipopeptides produced by bacteria is that the same bacterial strain can synthesize several lipopeptides (see Fig. 6.4). For instance, a Bacillus sp. strain reported by Abdellaziz et al. (2018) produces surfactin, pumalicidin, lichenisin, kurstakin, and various isoforms of fengycin and many other examples can be found in the literature (Zhao and Kuipers 2016).
These types of metabolites of peptide origin synthesized non-ribosomally by multi-enzymatic complexes form a set of microbial natural products that can contain residues of unusual amino acids in proteins. These peptides can be modified, namely by glycosylations and ring formation and generate lactones or esters. The great diversity in the structure of these compounds makes them sometimes quite active, with antimicrobial properties but also as bio-tensioactive, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, cytostatic and antitumor agents (Cameotra and Makkar 2004; Carrillo et al. 2003; Davis et al. 2001; Hsieh et al. 2004; Kim et al. 1998; Kluge et al. 1988; Marahiel 1997; Ohno et al. 1992) and the culture broth often holds a synergetic effect of these mixed components.
In the last few years, data generated by the different high-throughput technologies has expanded exponentially allowing genome sequencing of different species. Misra et al. (2019) discuss the possible development of standardized analytical pipelines that could be embraced by the omics research community highlighting recent methodologies, existing tools and potential limitations in the integration of omics datasets. The review of Mohana et al. (2018) discusses the recent progress in omics-based applications for biodiscovery of microbial natural products in antibiotic resistance era. Recently, Kalkreuter et al. (2020) presented different examples of successful strategies based on the combination of genome sequencing and bioinformatics that have been used for natural product discovery from cultivatable bacteria and discussed the opportunities and challenges that come from the association of genome conversion into natural products.
In fact, multi-omics methods enable us to study the potential of Bacillus antimicrobial compounds at both their compositional and functional levels.
Further insight into the potential metabolic processes, biosynthetic capabilities and stress adaptations can be inferred from genomic-scale comparison of strains. With this in mind, it is possible to screen and select strains with higher industrial potential capable to produce new desired active compounds or improve their production. Genomic approaches capable to identify the gene clusters that are localized in the genome can shed new light in the evaluation of the latent production capabilities of specific selected strains. The study of Yang Lu et al. (2019) provides a genomic and growth proteomic analysis of bacillomycin Lb biosynthesis during the B. amyloliquefaciens X030 growth cycle, making available a database about biosynthesis gene clusters, key regulatory enzymes, and proteins. The full-genome sequencing of a few genomes of bacteria, in particular, of the genus Bacillus, nowadays available in international databases like NCBI, allows determining the location of genetic clusters responsible for peptide synthesis. These biosynthetic gene clusters include non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), polyketide synthases (PKSs), and ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs).
The complete genome sequence of Bacillus strains and a comparative analysis between the genome sequences revealed differences in the lipopeptide synthesis genes paving the way for the design of new solutions combining the potential of various strains of Bacillus.
Actually, we explore hypogenic environments, a robust microbial cell factory, with unexplored biosynthetic potential of strains, by omics-based approaches, to improve the antagonistic compounds (data not shown). New active compounds and green nanotechnology for direct application in cultural heritage safeguard can in a close future contribute to potentiate a future generation of biocides and safe sustainable methods.
Microorganisms are responsible for the biodeterioration of cultural heritage but can also be an important source of solutions. It’s up to figure out the way… .
