“…The increased interest in fungal-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles compared to bacteria is mainly due to their ability to tolerate high concentrations of metal and metalloids and secrete extracellular proteins acting in the redox process of reducing metal ions to metal. In addition, fungi are easily cultured in submerged or solid-state fermentation processes, producing large quantities of metal nanoparticles, mostly by extracellular pathways [ 7 ]. The properties of biogenic nanoparticles depend on the strain and fungal extract used, on the type and concentration of the precursor, and by the conditions of fungal cultivation (e.g.…”

“…In the last decade, many review articles have been dedicated to green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, with emphasis on the synthesis mechanism on a cellular and molecular level as well as on their extended applications [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been studied intensely due to their physical and chemical properties (optical, electrical, thermal, and biological) useful in many fields, such as medicine, health, food, and industry.…”

Ganoderma lucidum-Mediated Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles with Antimicrobial Activity

et al. 2023

“Green chemistry” is a simple and easily reproductible method that provides nanoparticles characterized by better stability and good dispersion in an aqueous solution. Nanoparticles can be synthesized by algae, bacteria, fungi, and plant extracts. Ganoderma lucidum is a commonly used medicinal mushroom with distinctive biological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, etc. In this study, aqueous mycelial extracts of Ganoderma lucidum were used to reduce AgNO3 to form silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The maximum UV absorption was obtained at 420 nm, which represents the specific surface plasmon resonance band for biosynthesized silver nanoparticles. SEM images showed particles as predominantly spherical, while FTIR spectroscopic studies illustrated the presence of functional groups that can support the reducing of ion Ag+ to Ag(0). XRD peaks ratified the presence of AgNPs. The antimicrobial effectiveness of synthesized nanoparticles was tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial and yeasts strains. The silver nanoparticles were effective against pathogens, inhibiting their proliferation, and thus reducing the risk to the environment and to public health.

“…The same biological system can be used to create nanoparticles with variable sizes, shapes, and colloidal stability, through different biological activities and changing the synthesis conditions. Microorganisms have a strong enzymatic system that enables them to create nanoparticles of different chemical elements and are capable of manufacturing a large variety of physiologically active substances [ 14 , 15 ]. Despite the many benefits of using nanomaterials in agriculture, there are certain risks associated with large-scale applications.…”

Climate change is more likely to have a detrimental effect on the world’s productive assets. Several undesirable conditions and practices, including extreme temperature, drought, and uncontrolled use of agrochemicals, result in stresses that strain agriculture. In addition, nutritional inadequacies in food crops are wreaking havoc on human health, especially in rural regions of less developed countries. This could be because plants are unable to absorb the nutrients in conventional fertilizers, or these fertilizers have an inappropriate or unbalanced nutrient composition. Chemical fertilizers have been used for centuries and have considerably increased crop yields. However, they also disrupt soil quality and structure, eventually impacting the entire ecosystem. To address the situation, it is necessary to develop advanced materials that can release nutrients to targeted points in the plant-soil environment or appropriate receptors on the leaf in the case of foliar applications. Recently, nanotechnology-based interventions have been strongly encouraged to meet the world’s growing food demand and to promote food security in an environmentally friendly manner. Biological approaches for the synthesis of nanoscale agro-materials have become a promising area of research, with a wide range of product types such as nanopesticides, nanoinsecticides, nanoherbicides, nanobactericides/fungicides, bio-conjugated nanocomplexes, and nanoemulsions emerging therefrom. These materials are more sustainable and target-oriented than conventional agrochemicals. In this paper, we reviewed the literature on major abiotic and biotic stresses that are detrimental to plant growth and productivity. We comprehensively discussed the different forms of nanoscale agro-materials and provided an overview of biological approaches in nano-enabled strategies that can efficiently alleviate plant biotic and abiotic stresses while potentially enhancing the nutritional values of plants.
