Observational analysis showed improved exoenzyme activity in soil treated with copper nanoparticles, indicating potential for soil remediation.
The present work investigates the green synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) by Fusarium incarnatum isolated from barite mine-contaminated soils, their physicochemical characterization, and their impact on soil exoenzyme dynamics. Nanoparticles were characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and TEM. Application of these CuNPs to contaminated soils influenced the activity patterns of key exoenzymes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Results underline the potential of mycogenic CuNPs in the enhancement of soil biochemical functioning and possible remediation of polluted soils.
