Deciphering the formation of biogenic nanoparticles and their protein corona: State-of-the-art and analytical challenges

Scientists have developed environmentally friendly methods to create tiny metal particles (nanoparticles) using living organisms like bacteria, fungi, and plants instead of toxic chemicals. These bioengineered nanoparticles are coated with natural biological molecules that make them safer and more stable. This review explains how these particles are made, what analytical tools scientists use to study them, and their potential uses in medicine, environmental cleanup, and agriculture.

Inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum growth in banana by silver nanoparticles: In vitro and in vivo assays

Bananas are threatened by a fungal disease called Fusarium wilt that damages crops worldwide. Scientists tested tiny silver particles called nanoparticles as a treatment for this disease on banana plants. The treatment successfully reduced disease by about 68% when applied to the roots, showing promise as an alternative to traditional fungicides for protecting banana crops.

Phylogeny of Aspergillus section Circumdati and inhibition of ochratoxins potential by green synthesised ZnO nanoparticles

This research studied yellow-colored fungal species that contaminate crops and can produce harmful toxins called ochratoxins. Scientists identified four different species of these fungi and found that tiny zinc oxide particles made from plant extract could reduce toxin production. The study shows promise for using these nanoparticles to protect food and agricultural products from fungal contamination.
