Biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles using fungi and it's antimicrobial activity
Answers
. Biological entities offer a nontoxic, clean, and environment-friendly approach to synthesize the NPs with a wide range of size, physicochemical properties, shapes, and compositions [55]. Copper nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized in the literature by using different plants such as Euphorbia esula [56], Punica granatum [57], Ocimum sanctum [58], Ginkgo biloba [59], Calotropis procera [60], Lawsonia inermis [61], Citrus medicalinn [62], Camellia sinensis [63], Datura innoxia [64], Syzygium aromaticum [65], Sesamum indicum [66], Citrus limon, Turmeric curcumin [67], Gloriosa superba L. [68], Ficus carica [69], Aegle marmelos [70], Caesalpinia pulcherrima [71], Cassia fistula [72], Leucas aspera, Leucas chinensis [73], Delonix elata [74], Aloe barbadensis Miller [75], Thymus vulgaris [76], Phyllanthus emblica [77], Magnolia kobus [78], Eucalyptus [79], Artabotrys odoratissimus [80], Capparis zeylanica [81], Vitis vinifera [82], Hibiscus rosa-sinensis [83], Zingiber officinale [84], Datura metel [85], Zea mays [86], Urtica, Matricaria chamomilla, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Schisandra chinensis, Inula helenium, Cinnamomum [87], Dodonaea viscosa [88], Cassia auriculata [89], Azadirachta indica, Lantana camera, Tridax procumbens [90], Allium sativum [91], Asparagus adscendens, Bacopa monnieri, Ocimum bacilicum, Withania somnifera [92], Smithia sensitiva, Colocasia esculenta [93], Nerium oleander [94], and Psidium guajava [95]; by using different algae/fungi such as Phaeophyceae [96], Stereum hirsutum [97], and Hypocrea lixii [98]; and by using some microorganisms such as Pseudomonas fluorescens [99] and Enterococcus faecalis [100] cultures. ...
