Unlocking nature’s capabilities: using fungi to produce nanoparticles
Keywords:
Organic compounds, Biological activity, BiosynthesisAbstract
Nanoparticle synthesis using fungi offers a sustainable and versatile approach in nanotechnology. Through intrinsic and extrinsic methods, fungi can generate nanoparticles with diverse applications, from medicine to environmental remediation. Techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are essential to confirm the synthesis. Although this technology is promising, it faces challenges in reproducibility, scalability, and understanding its ecological impact, which requires a balanced approach for its implementation in sustainable technologies.
