Iodophanus testaceus STG-150: Genome sequencing

Cultural heritage objects and paintings in particular consist of materials that can be deteriorated by specialized microorganisms. In this regard, the urgent task is both to characterize their destructive capacity and to select target antiseptics that can protect from biodeterioration and do not interact with painting materials. In our work, we characterized the fungus Iodophanus sp. STG-150 isolated from bio-lesion sites of the 16th century icon Deesis Tier of 13 Figures from Pezizaceae family with amazing habitat has not been described before.
