Abstract

The paper provides the results of the microbiological analysis of samples taken from the mummified remains of St.
Marcian. Microorganisms found belong to bacteria and fungi of the genera Aspergillus, Bacillus, Penicillium, Sarcina,
and Shewanella which are all a part of the common air, soil, and human microbial flora and therefore present no health
hazard.
