Fungal-derived ZnO nanoparticles functionalized with riboflavin and UDP-GlcNAc exhibit potent nematicidal activity against M. incognita

mycolabadmin

Scientists used a nematode-trapping fungus to create tiny zinc oxide particles that are highly toxic to root-knot nematodes, which damage crops worldwide. These nanoparticles are naturally coated with beneficial fungal compounds like riboflavin that enhance their pest-killing ability. The particles killed over 94% of nematodes in laboratory tests, offering a greener alternative to harsh chemical pesticides currently used in farming.

Assessment of the Antitumor Activity of Green Biosynthesized Zinc Nanoparticles as Therapeutic Agent Against Renal Cancer in Rats

mycolabadmin

Researchers created tiny zinc nanoparticles using an edible white mushroom through an environmentally friendly process. When tested in rats with kidney cancer, these nanoparticles significantly reduced tumor markers, protected kidney cells from oxidative damage, and triggered cancer cell death. The treatment improved kidney function and showed no toxic effects, suggesting it could be a promising new therapy for kidney cancer.

Advancing Food Preservation: Sustainable Green-AgNPs Bionanocomposites in Paper-Starch Flexible Packaging for Prolonged Shelf Life

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an eco-friendly food packaging material by coating paper with corn starch and tiny silver particles created through green chemistry methods. This innovative packaging significantly improved food durability, reducing weight loss in fresh produce like tomatoes and grapes by 6-8% over six days. The material is completely biodegradable and poses no safety concerns, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.

Antifungal activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on Fusarium equiseti phytopathogen isolated from tomato plant in Nepal

mycolabadmin

Researchers in Nepal developed a natural way to fight tomato plant diseases by creating tiny zinc oxide nanoparticles from tea leaves. These nanoparticles successfully stopped the growth of a harmful fungus called Fusarium equiseti that was damaging tomato crops. Unlike chemical fungicides that can harm the environment, this eco-friendly approach damaged the fungus’s cell structures without posing risks to surrounding ecosystems, offering farmers a safer way to protect their crops.

Microbial-Based Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: A Comparative Review of Bacteria- and Fungi-Mediated Approaches

mycolabadmin

Scientists have developed environmentally friendly ways to create tiny silver particles using bacteria and fungi instead of harsh chemicals. These silver nanoparticles can fight bacteria, help treat cancer, clean contaminated water, and improve food packaging. The review shows that bacteria produce particles quickly but fungi are better for large-scale production and create more stable particles.

Effect of Pd-Sensitization on Poisonous Chlorine Gas Detection Ability of TiO2: Green Synthesis and Low-Temperature Operation

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a new sensor to detect dangerous chlorine gas using tiny titanium dioxide particles created with help from Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms. The sensor was improved by adding palladium, making it work at much lower temperatures and respond much faster than previous versions. This green synthesis method is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and could help protect workers and the environment from chlorine gas exposure in industrial settings.

Microbial-Based Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: A Comparative Review of Bacteria- and Fungi-Mediated Approaches

mycolabadmin

Scientists are developing environmentally friendly ways to make silver nanoparticles using bacteria and fungi instead of harsh chemicals. These tiny particles show promise in fighting infections, treating cancer, cleaning water, and protecting crops. The review compares how bacteria and fungi each produce these particles and explains how different conditions affect their properties and effectiveness.

Green Synthesized Copper-Oxide Nanoparticles Exhibit Antifungal Activity Against Botrytis cinerea, the Causal Agent of the Gray Mold Disease

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed tiny copper oxide particles using fungi to create a natural fungicide that fights gray mold, a disease that damages grapes and other crops worldwide. These bio-based nanoparticles work better than conventional copper fungicides, offering farmers a more environmentally friendly option. However, the particles showed some toxicity to human cells in laboratory tests, suggesting they need careful handling before field use.

Chlorophyllum molybdites-synthesized manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO-NPs): morphology, biocompatibility, and anticancer properties against liver cancer (HepG2) cell line

mycolabadmin

Researchers successfully created tiny manganese oxide particles using a wild mushroom called Chlorophyllum molybdites through an environmentally friendly process. These nanoparticles showed strong cancer-fighting ability against liver cancer cells and were effective against a parasite that causes leishmaniasis. The particles were safe for human use with minimal damage to healthy blood cells, making them promising candidates for developing new cancer and parasitic disease treatments.

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

mycolabadmin

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.
