Abstract
In this study, mortars from the citadel of Nabeul where studied using XRD in order to identify their composition, and where investigated biologically to determine the role played by microorganisms in there decay. Calcium carbonate (calcite lime) is the main component of the studied mortars; calcium silicate was also detected in addition to quartz and iron oxides. The biological investigation detected some fungal flora amongst: Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus tamareii, Ascosphaera apis, Eurotium repens, Eurotium chevalieri, Doratomyces sp and Cladosporium cladosprioides.
