Biological applications of yttrium oxide nanocomposites synthesized from Aspergillus penicillioides and their potential role in environmental remediation

Researchers used a fungus called Aspergillus penicillioides to create tiny particles of yttrium oxide that can remove dangerous metals like lead and nickel from contaminated water. These particles work like microscopic sponges that grab onto the toxic metals when exposed to UV light. The particles also kill bacteria and fight harmful free radicals, making them useful for both cleaning water and potentially treating infections.

Extracellular Biosynthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Filamentous Fungi

Researchers used three types of fungi to naturally create tiny silver particles that can kill harmful bacteria and fungi. These particles were much smaller than the width of a human hair and proved especially effective against dangerous bacteria like those causing hospital infections and Candida yeast infections. This green manufacturing method is safer for the environment than traditional chemical approaches and could help address the growing problem of drug-resistant infections.
