Murals meet microbes: at the crossroads of microbiology and cultural heritage

Our cultural heritage consists of manifold cultural ex-pressions and represents a defining feature of our soci-eties that needs to be further inherited to future gen-erations. Even though humankind always fought a daily struggle for survival, at the same time, it seemed to have a spiritual need that...
