Claim · model-written summary
CuNP-treated pine wood showed reduced fungal weight loss compared with untreated controls.
Verbatim
e0“Treated wood samples exhibited significantly enhanced fungal and termite resistance, displaying notably reduced weight loss (approximately 10-15 %) compared to untreated controls (20-30 %)”
e1“The findings demonstrated a clear concentration-dependent efficacy of CuNPs”
e2“This research investigates the eco-friendly biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) from Cleistocalyx operculatus (water banyan) leaf extracts for the sustainable preservation of pine wood Pinus kesiya (khasi pine)”
e3“wood-decaying fungi, including Aspergillus flavus ATCC 9643, Fusarium oxysporum ATCC 48112, and Penicillium citrinum ATCC 9849, as well as termites”
