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.

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

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.
