Inhibition of wood-rotting fungi

褐腐真菌，包括Serpula lacrymans、Coniophora puteana和Meruliporia（Serpula）incrassata，沿着常见的室内真菌污染物Stachybocyanatra（chartarum）和出芽短梗霉（Aureobasidium pullulans），导致常见的问题，例如木材腐烂、干壁损坏以及健康和福祉问题。拟议研究的目的是确定由Stellchem Inc.生产的商业产品Bio-Treat和Bio-Treat Gel，可以抑制培养物中和木材中或纤维素材料如干墙上的真菌生长。如果发现产品对真菌具有抑制作用，则将确定有效浓度。此外，将评估长达4个月的抑制持续性。

Brown rot fungi, including Serpula lacrymans, Coniophora puteana, and Meruliporia (Serpula) incrassata, along with common indoor fungal contaminants, Stachybotrys atra (chartarum), and Aureobasidium pullulans, contribute to common problems such as wood rot, dry wall damage, and health and well-being issues. The purpose of the proposed research is to determine whether or not Bio-Treat and Bio-Treat Gel, commercial products produced by Stellchem Inc., can inhibit fungal growth in culture and in wood or on cellulosic materials such as drywall. If the product is found to be inhibitory to fungi, then effective concentrations will be determined. In addition, persistence of the inhibition for a period of up to four months will be assessed.
