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.

Strategies and materials for the prevention and treatment of biofilms

mycolabadmin

Biofilms are sticky communities of bacteria that form on medical devices and surfaces, making infections very difficult to treat with antibiotics. This review explains how biofilms develop in stages and describes different ways to stop them from forming or to destroy them once they exist. Solutions include special coatings on medical implants, natural plant extracts like essential oils, and engineered proteins called antimicrobial peptides that fight bacteria without creating antibiotic resistance.
