Antimicrobial Activity of Biologically Synthesized Gold Nanoparticles from Wild Mushroom Cantharellus Species

Abstract

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.

Environmentally friendly rapid green synthesis of SeNPs using grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) leaves extract, and their antimicrobial potential

“…Due to these adverse impacts, bacteria are unable to perform their essential functions. Consequently, the mortality of microorganisms occurs due to these consequences (Cui et al, 2012;Ahmed et al, 2016;Ezhuthupurakkal et al, 2017;Jha et al, 2017;Donga et al, 2020).…”

Creation of Gold Nanoparticles with the Use of Nigella sativa Lam Plant Extract Derived from Agricultural Waste components and Its Potential as a Biomedical Agent

“…of some strains cause AuNPs to be effective at different concentrations (Donga et al 2020). In addition to the concentration, properties such as surface charge, shape, and size also play an important role in the antimicrobial effects of AuNPs (Jha et al 2017). Since microorganisms and NPs are negatively and positively charged in a liquid medium, respectively, NPs interact with electrostatic attraction (Ahmed et al 2016;Ferreyra Maillard et al 2018;Babu et al 2020).…”

“…These species bind to important molecules such as proteins, DNA, lipids, and enzymes and adversely affect their structure and functions. All this accelerates biodegradation and causes the death of microorganisms (Cui et al 2012;Ahmed et al 2016;Jha et al 2017;Donga et al 2020). It was stated that AuNPs obtained in the green synthesis study with Jatropha integerrima Jacq extract were effective MICs at 10.00, 5.00, and 2.5 µg/mL concentrations on S. aureus, B.…”

Diversity of Biogenic Nanoparticles Obtained by the Fungi-Mediated Synthesis: A Review

“…Gold nanospheres were also obtained using fruit body extracts of Cantharellus sp. (average particle size of 60.6 nm) [ 136 ] and Laetiporus versisporus (average particle size of 10 nm) [ 144 ].…”
