Abstract:Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of edible mushroom, Macrocybe gigantea for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles, antioxidant property and antibacterial property. Methods: M. gigantea pure culture was isolated using tissue culture in a petri-plate comprising potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, spawn was prepared using sorghum grains and mushrooms were grown indoors using paddy straw in an uniquely designed environment for mushroom growth. The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles with AgNO 3 , antioxi… Show more
