Biodeterioration by Microphytes (Algae and Fungi)
Abstract
The research findings on microphytes which include the algae and fungi are explained in detail, with sections on each of the two major groups of organisms identified. Each section explored the results and discussed the findings for each of the biodeteriogens. The impacts of these biodeteriogens on buildings and other structures within park sites, including relevant aquatic habitats, are included in this chapter. It also includes examining the potential impacts on the environment and human, animal, and plant health caused by aeromycoflora.
