Nano-bioremediation of metal-polluted industrial wastewater using myco-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles derived from Aspergillus niger AUMC 16028

mycolabadmin

Scientists have developed a green method to clean polluted industrial water using specially grown fungal nanoparticles. These tiny iron particles, made from Aspergillus niger fungus, can effectively remove dangerous heavy metals like copper, zinc, and iron from contaminated water. This eco-friendly approach is cheaper and safer than traditional chemical methods, offering a promising solution for protecting our water resources.

Harnessing pycnidia-forming fungi for eco-friendly nanoparticle production, applications, and limitations

mycolabadmin

Certain types of fungi can produce tiny metal particles called nanoparticles that have useful properties. These fungi-made nanoparticles can kill bacteria, fight cancer cells, clean pollutants from water and soil, and be used in medicines and agriculture. Unlike traditional chemical methods for making nanoparticles, using fungi is cleaner and safer for the environment, though scientists still need to understand more about how they work and ensure they are safe to use widely.

Certain fungi called pycnidial fungi can create tiny particles called nanoparticles that are useful in medicine, agriculture, and environmental cleanup. These fungi naturally produce chemicals and enzymes that reduce metal ions into nanoparticles, which have antimicrobial and cancer-fighting properties. While this biological approach is more environmentally friendly than chemical methods, scientists still need to solve challenges like making it work at large scales and ensuring the nanoparticles are safe and stable.

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Trichoderma harzianum and its bio-efficacy on Alternaria brassicae

mycolabadmin

Scientists have developed an eco-friendly way to create zinc oxide nanoparticles using a beneficial fungus called Trichoderma harzianum. These nanoparticles effectively kill Alternaria brassicae, a fungus that damages mustard crops and can reduce yields by up to 57%. The nanoparticles work better and at lower doses than traditional chemical fungicides, making them a promising sustainable solution for farmers. This represents an important advancement in protecting crops without harming the environment.

Mycosynthesis of Metal-Containing Nanoparticles—Synthesis by Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes and Their Application

mycolabadmin

Scientists have discovered that common fungi like mushrooms and molds can produce tiny nanoparticles that fight bacteria, kill cancer cells, and speed up chemical reactions. This fungal method is much cheaper, safer, and more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical production methods. The nanoparticles can be used in medical treatments, wound dressings, water purification, and farming as natural fertilizers and pesticides.

Ganoderma lucidum inspired silver nanoparticles and its biomedical applications with special reference to drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates from CAUTI

mycolabadmin

Researchers created tiny silver particles using a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum to fight dangerous bacteria that resist antibiotics and are associated with urinary catheter infections. These nanoparticles were found to effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria, work as antioxidants better than a common antioxidant standard, and showed promise in killing breast cancer cells. This eco-friendly approach offers a natural alternative to conventional antibiotics for treating serious antibiotic-resistant infections.

Harnessing pycnidia-forming fungi for eco-friendly nanoparticle production, applications, and limitations

Scientists are using special fungi called pycnidial fungi to create tiny nanoparticles that could revolutionize medicine and environmental cleanup. These fungi naturally produce chemicals that can turn metal into useful nanoparticles without the toxic processes used in factories. The resulting nanoparticles show promise in fighting bacteria, cancer cells, and cleaning polluted water, offering a safer and more eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods.

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.
