Sandstone monuments may sustain a wide range of microorganisms that are involved in the biodeterioration process. Sandstone monuments are made up of Bryophyte and fungal consortia. Fungi are thought to be the most effective category of microorganisms in generating sandstone monument biodeterioration. When fungal units grow outside in the absence of food and water, they can initiate fungal colonisation and biodeterioration processes. When microbes are found on cultural heritage artefacts, it is not always assumed that they are changing the sandstone's physical qualities or chemical composition. Our research project objectives are to use molecular approaches such as RFLP and RAPD to isolate and recognise fungi. Eleven fungus species with dominance over the sandstone structures of the various monuments were isolated. It was discovered during the examination that Aspergillus species outnumber Rhizopus species. Microfungi produce discoloration and mechanical exfoliation of various monuments, which were investigated utilising molecular techniques for the creation of dark pigments, Hyphae penetration, and organic acid. As a result, the present state of knowledge regarding Rhizopus is summarised in this review.
