Utilization of Eugenia Caryophyllata Thumb, Piper Nigrum Linn, and Thymus Vulgaris L Extracts on the Fungal-Invaded Limestone of some Monumental Buildings in Cairo, Egypt

The present work reports on the use of some medicinal plants as candidates against fungal contamination in historical buildings. Isolation of different fungal species was made from three different buildings in old Cairo (mosque of Tameem Al-Rassafy, madrasa of Azbak Al-Yusufi, and mosque of Yusuf A...
