Bacteria trained to eat glue saving Spanish frescoes
by editors@theworld.org (Gerry Hadden) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6TRHB)
The glue was used during an earlier, botched restoration attempt and had left the ceiling of Valencia's Saints Johns Church pitted with dark spots. A mother and daughter team - the mom is an art restorer, and the daughter is a microbiologist - are getting the glue off and restoring an iconic ceiling nearly lost to fire some 90 years ago. The World's Gerry Hadden reports from Valencia, Spain.
