Abstract

Vast research has been carried out for past 20 years to find ways to synthesize nanoparticles through fungi or fungal extracts. There is a demand to create eco-friendly techniques for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Employing fungal strains for nanoparticle biosynthesis is technologically attractive, reasonable and commercially feasible. Amongst other organisms, fungi make an appropriate option for the production of metallic nanoparticles because they secrete a large amount of proteins, thus increasing productivity, and their easy usage in the laboratory. Fungal nanobiotechnology has been utilized in agricultural, medical and industrial sectors for goods and services improvement and delivery to mankind. Agriculturally, it has found applications in plant disease management and production of environmentally friendly, nontoxic insecticides, fungicides to enhance agricultural production in general. Medically, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, particularly of microbial origin, has been improved with fungal nanoparticles through more efficient drug delivery systems with major advantage to pharmaceutical industries.
