Viability and stability of lyophilized micromycetes in the presence of Cu and ZnO nanoparticles

Abstract

This material presents the results obtained in the study of the viability and stability of 20 micromycetes from the genera Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Penicillium lyophilized in the presence of Cu NPs and ZnO NPs. Morpho-cultural peculiarities and antifungal activity were studied. Phytopathogens were used as test cultures: A. niger, A. alternata, B. cinerea, F. solani, F. oxysporum. It was found that the supplementation of Cu or ZnO NPs in the culture medium acts individually and insignificantly on the morpho-cultural particularities of the studied micromycetes.
