CURRENT ADVANCES IN FUNGAL NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY:MYCOFABRICATION AND APPLICATIONS :explode:
Myconanotechnology
A science that interacts with mycology and nanotechnology.
Many fungi have been explored for nanoparticles mycosynthesis as
Penicillium corylophilum
(antibacterial activities),
Aspergillus niger
(UV protection),
Trichoderma longibrachiatum
(catalytic activities), etc.
Current Advances on Green Mycosynthesis NPs
Fungal cells--> a premium origin of compounds valuable for the green mycosynthesis of NPs to be implemented in:
Medical
Wastewater treatment
Textile
Environmental ambits
Agricultural
Species of fungi that can be utilized for preparation of gold and silver NPs -->
Aspergillus
sp.,
A. niger
,
Fusarium solani
,
Ganoderma lucidum
,
Trichoderma
sp. and
Rhodotorula glutinis
Factors That Affect Mycosynthesis of NPs
Precursor concentrations and time contact
pH
Temperature
The presence of certain enzymes
Fungal biomass
Characterization of NPs Synthesized by Fungi
Electron microscopy (TEM, SEM)
--> morphological properties on the nanometer to micrometer size scale
Atomic force microscopy (AFM)
--> surface characterization on the atomic scale size
Raman spectroscopy
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)
--> determine the surface charge and distribution size of NPs suspended in a colloidal phase
Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
--> properties and identification of the crystallite structure of metal NPs
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR)
--> characterizing the functional and surface chemistry of NPs
Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)
--> recognized the elemental composition of NPs
UV-visible spectrometry
--> a generally employed system to characterize metal NPs
Mechanisms of Mycosynthesis of NPs
Applications of Mycosynthesized NPs
Bioremediation
The role of nanomaterials such as Au-NPs, ZnO-NPs and Ag-NPs --> dye-removal process
Textile Industry
Obtaining a high-quality textile product is required by adding highly efficient materials, such as Ag-NPs
Wastewater Treatment
The benefit of NPs --> its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties as wastewater flows are rich in pathogenic microbes
Food Industry
A good development in terms of food safety from spoilage, packaging, safety and delivery systems
Agriculture Sector
Providing human food, desirable products, animal feed and pivotal requisite materials for diverse industry as leathers, fibers, etc.
Biomedical Applications
Several types of NP-sized drugs have been evaluated in cancer therapy to reduce the negative impacts of conventional anticancer drugs .
