Fungal Growth on Wetblue: Methods to Measure Impact on Leather Quality
Wild and known fungal species were selected to inoculate a standardized wetblue leather and various methods were then employed to quantify the concomitant damage associated with mold growth. Fungi were isolated from commercially tanned samples of contaminated wetblue and pure strains were sourced from ATCC cultures. Test cuttings of wetblue leather were inoculated with the selected cultures and incubated along with matched control cuttings for a period of 90 days. Unknown wild strains were later identified using DNA sequencing techniques. Microscopic observations of all treated versus control samples did not show any difference in grain structure or skin morphology, indicating little or no breakdown of intact and tanned collagen structures. Various staining and analytical assay techniques indicated significant reduction in fatty material content in the treated samples compared with the untreated controls.
