Potential Use of Carrageenans against the Limestone Proliferation of the Cyanobacterium <i>Parakomarekiella sesnandensis</i>

Stone biodeterioration by cyanobacteria is a common issue in the field of cultural heritage. As they are considered the first stone colonizers, the need to control their growth has increased. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of kappa/iota carrageenans from the red seaweed <i>Chond...
