Biogenic Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles using Extracts from Endophytes and Applications

In this study, metal nanoparticles were synthesized using extracts from fungal extracts. Among all the tested fungal extracts P. citrinum and T. asperellum extracts showed good potential for the synthesis of mNPs. All the biosynthesized mNPs were characterized using different characterization techniques. Based on characterization results one of the most suitable mNPs were selected and further optimized using response surface methodology software. The optimally synthesized AgNPs (OS AgNPs) were used to assess their antimicrobial antioxidant activities. Further metal removal potential and dye decolorization potential of OS AgNPs was assessed. Finally, the phytotoxicity effect of AgNPs was checked.
