Effect of <i>Trichoderma</i> species, T-685 and T-720, on preventing mass loss from basidiomycetes after 12 weeks incubation on wood.

<p>Different letters indicate significant differences between the <i>Trichoderma</i> treatments and the controls. Shared numbers indicate the subgroups (wood destroying basidiomycete) of the analysis after the Tukey’s HDS test (<i>p</i><0.05). Data represented as mean ± SD of three biological replicates.</p

Lethal effect of <i>Trichoderma</i> strains against Cu-tolerant basidiomycetes.

<p>Data represented as mean of five subsamples from three biological replicates.</p

Combined effect of <i>Trichoderma</i> species, T-685 and T-720, on preventing mass loss from basidiomycetes after 9 months incubation on Cu-treated wood.

Colonization of biochar substrate by T-720 and T-720G after 48h.

<p>A: Transformed <i>T</i>. <i>harzianum</i> (T-720G). B: Colonization of biochar by T-720G. C and D: matrix created by hypha of T-720 in biochar. The scale bar in A and B represents 100 μm; in C and D represents 30 μm and 20 μm, respectively. Arrows: hyphae of T-720.</p
