Abstract:
Different types and varying mixtures of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, algae) were normally found living at the surfaces of different materials and several centimeters inside of porous locations. Not all microorganisms will multiply in any case nor corrode all the materials they have reached. Some of them will die and may serve as nutrients, others will grow without attacking the materials but may support growth of corroding types.
