Biodeterioration

Coal miners use water spray near coal faces - but water on hay which is bioactive would just cause more problems and accelerate unwanted biodeterioration and/or fermentation. ❋ Glyn Davies (2008)

Observations were made of biodeterioration in the yam samples and at the end of 10 weeks each half-tuber was cut vertically into two to measure the depth of rotting. ❋ Unknown (1992)

The heartwood is extremely durable (specific gravity not yet determined) and resistant to all forms of biodeterioration. ❋ Unknown (1990)

Chapter 4 contains information on biodegradation, biodeterioration and biostabilization of industrial products. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For each group of products, relevant microorganisms, essential product components, mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, results of biodeterioration, biostabilization, and used formulations are given. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Microorganisms involved in biodegradation and biodeterioration of materials are presented within the framework of their classification, based on the most recent developments and agreements. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Information on 13 groups of bacteria 7 groups of fungi, and 4 groups of protozoa are discussed in Chapter 2, which also contains discussion of major mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, including biofilm formation and its effect on biostabilization of materials. ❋ Unknown (2010)
