“…Reported studies have proved that metal-based nanoparticles show biocidal activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (Franci et al, 2015;Chiriac et al, 2016;Rajeshkumar et al, 2016;Ovais et al, 2019). The antimicrobial effects of metal nanoparticles have been attributed to their nano size and high surface-to-volume ratio, which permits them to penetrate the bacterial membranes.…”

Nanoparticles (nanoparticles) have received much attention in biological application because of their unique physicochemical properties. The metal-and metal oxide-supported nanomaterials have shown significant therapeutic effect in medical science. The mechanisms related to the interaction of nanoparticles with animal and plant cells can be used to establish its significant role and to improve their activity in health and medical applications. Various attempts have been made to discuss the antibiotic resistance and antimicrobial activity of metal-supported nanoparticles. Despite all these developments, there is still a need to investigate their performance to overcome modern challenges. In this regard, the present review examines the role of various types of metal-supported nanomaterials in different areas such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and so on. Based on the significant ongoing research and applications, it is expected that metal-supported nanomaterials play an outstanding role not only in medical but also in other important areas.

“…In literature, several reports are offered on MNPs’ (AgNPs, AuNPs, ZnSNPs) exhibiting bactericidal activity. However, only a few reports focus on the support of their antifungal and antibacterial activity with appropriate mechanisms [ 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 ]. Moreover, many reports available in literature that favor the mechanism involved in bacterial and fungi cells are almost similar.…”

Research and innovation in nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis derived from biomaterials have gained much attention due to their unique characteristics, such as low-cost, easy synthesis methods, high water solubility, and eco-friendly nature. NPs derived from macrofungi, including various mushroom species, such as Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus spp., Lentinus spp., and Ganoderma spp. are well known to possess high nutritional, immune-modulatory, antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral), antioxidant, and anticancerous properties. Fungi have intracellular metal uptake ability and maximum wall binding capacity; because of which, they have high metal tolerance and bioaccumulation ability. Primarily, two methods have been comprehended in the literature to synthesize metal NPs from macrofungi, i.e., the intracellular method, which refers to NP synthesis inside fungal cells by transportation of ions in the presence of enzymes; and the extracellular method, which refers to the treatment of fungal biomolecules aqueous filtrate with a metal precursor. Pleurotus derived metal NPs are known to inhibit the growth of numerous foodborne pathogenic bacteria and fungi. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such review article reported in the literature describing the synthesis and complete application and mechanism of NPs derived from macrofungi. Herein, we intend to summarize the progressive research on macrofungi derived NPs regarding their synthesis as well as applications in the area of antimicrobial (antibacterial & antifungal), anticancer, antioxidant, catalytic and food preservation. Additionally, the challenges associated with NPs synthesis will also be discussed.

This study aims to introduce a green, eco-friendly, fast and cost-effective method to synthesis gold nano-sized particles (Au NPs) from actinomycete strain; Streptomyces sp. U30 (KP109810), isolated from metal containing rock. The biosynthesized gold nanoparticles were formed at lower conditions of pH, mass weight and incubation time (7 hours only). The bio-formed Au NPs were fully characterized with different techniques to study their nano-metrological measurements. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) were used to determine the crystal structure, size and shape of Au NPs. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies were done to investigate the distinct functional groups present on the surface. The zetasizer technique was used to define the stability of biosynthesized gold nanoparticles. The antimicrobial activities of biosynthesized gold nanoparticles were studied against gram positive and gram-negative bacteria at three different concentrations, 10, 30 and 50 μg/disc, using agar well diffusion method. The obtained results prove that the biosynthesized Au NPs gave different antimicrobial action which was strain dependent. All the tested bacterial strains were inhibited by the examined concentrations with variations in the inhibition zone diameters, except Candida albicans showed resistant to the biosynthesized Au NPs. The bio-formed gold nanoparticles can be used in different applications.
