Mikroorganizmy zasiedlajace wspolczesne drewno sosny [Pinus sylvestris L.] w glebie torfowej stanowiska archeologicznego w Biskupinie

Microorganisms colonizing a contemporary pine wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) stored in a peat soil of the archaeological site in Biskupin. The experiment was conducted on the archaeological SP1 and SP4 sites in Biskupin. Both dry and wet samples of the contemporary pine wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) were exposed in the layer of peat at the 50 and 100 cm of depth and in a peaty layer at the bottom of a trench, where other wooden constructions from the Lusatian settlement were deposited. The experimental samples were recovered after two years of deposition for physical, chemical and microbiological examinations. It was observed, that pine wood were colonized by a different saprophytic and pathogenic bacteria and microscopic fungi. The main­tenance of an anoxic condition can reduce the occurrence of cellulolytic actinomycetes strains and microscopic fungi and can limit the speed of wood decay.
