To combat the increasing cases of drug resistance is one of the biggest challenges for the scientists all over the world. Thus, development of novel antimicrobial agent has become the need of the hour. Nanotechnology is emerging as the new technology in the field of medical science to overcome such problems. In the present study, the Gold Nanoparticles were synthesized by mycelial extracts of a wild edible mushroom Cantharellus sp. These Nanoparticles were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal properties on a wide range of microorganisms.The nanoparticles showed significant anti bacterial and antifungal property in our study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
