Assessment of biodamage resistance of various concrete grades

Abstract

© 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology. All rights reserved.At estimation of modern mineral construction materials resistance to Aspergillus niger; Aureobasidium pullulans; Trichoderma sp. it was shown that 28-day exposure of test samples with micromycetes according to GOST 310.4-81 does not reduce their chemical stability coefficient. Analysis of growth rate of selected micromycetes in solid Czapeck-Daux medium allows to relate them to r-strategists. At cultivation of microscopic fungi in liquid Czapeck-Daux medium one-, two-and tribasic (acetic, oxalic, apple and citric) organic acids were identified. High rate of micromycetes growth and formation of wide range of organic acids during their growth gives the basis for supposition that at long-lasting contact of microscopic fungi with construction materials the damage of the latter cannot be excluded.
