Green-Synthesized Nanomaterials from Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms: A Sustainable Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance

mycolabadmin

Scientists are developing a new weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria using mushrooms. These special nanoparticles derived from edible and medicinal mushrooms can kill harmful bacteria in multiple ways without the toxic chemicals used in traditional manufacturing. The nanoparticles work by disrupting bacterial membranes, creating harmful molecules called free radicals, and even boosting your body’s natural immune response. This environmentally friendly approach could become an important tool in fighting dangerous infections that don’t respond to current antibiotics.

The research shows this approach could be a sustainable alternative that reduces harmful chemicals used in agriculture while protecting crops more effectively.

Research Progress of Polysaccharide-Gold Nanocomplexes in Drug Delivery

mycolabadmin

Scientists are combining polysaccharides (natural compounds found in plants and organisms) with tiny gold particles to create better drug delivery systems. These hybrid nanoparticles can transport medicines directly to cancer cells while reducing side effects and improving treatment effectiveness. The review discusses how these gold-polysaccharide combinations can also fight bacteria and viruses, making them useful for various medical applications beyond cancer therapy.

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

mycolabadmin

Researchers used three types of common fungi to create tiny silver particles in an environmentally friendly way. These silver nanoparticles were found to effectively kill harmful bacteria and fungal infections. The fungus Cladosporium cladosporoides was the most effective at producing these particles, showing promise for use in medical and health applications.

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

mycolabadmin

Researchers identified four species of Aspergillus fungus that contaminate crops and produce poisonous compounds called ochratoxins. They found that specially made zinc oxide nanoparticles, created using an environmentally friendly method with basil extract, can significantly reduce the amount of ochratoxins produced by these fungi. This discovery could help protect agricultural products from contamination and improve food safety.
