Researchers examined the microscopic biological material, living and dead, and found an unexpected diversity of bacteria, fungi and human DNA in the Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Uomo della Bitta,” one of six drawings.
The biggest surprise, was the high concentration of bacteria in the drawings, especially as compared with fungi. Past studies have shown that fungi tend to dominate the microbiomes of paper objects such as these drawings, but in this case an unusually high amount of bacteria from humans and insects (likely flies that pooped on the paper at some point) were present.
