COM ON!: Protect stone relics by calcium oxalate monohydrate film
|
| Cultural relics are the heritage of human civilization. Open-air stone cultural relics, exposed outdoors for a long time, are susceptible to weathering damage. Nevertheless, parts of Lingyin Temple, a temple built from stone more than 1,000 years ago, are still intact due to the presence of natural calcium oxalate protective film. Inspired by this instance, CAU_China plan to use Bacteria-Induced Mineral Precipitation (BIMP) to replicate this protective film, by engineering Pseudomonas fluorescens to make it produce oxalic acid and consequently form a dense calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) protective film with the assistance of EPS. The realization of this technique will be a historical advance in the protection of stone relics, and will be the well-being of all cultural heritage stakeholders, present and future.
