Biological methods for synthesising nanoparticles offer safe, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional approaches. Among biological sources such as bacteria, yeasts, and plants, fungi are particularly effective because they secrete diverse enzymes that streamline subsequent processing. These fungal strains serve as natural synthesisers capable of generating an array of nanoparticles with unique properties. Nanoparticles produced through fungi are biocompatible and environmentally benign, making them technologically attractive and economically viable for broader use. Recent developments focus on clarifying the underlying synthesis mechanisms, identifying the factors that control nanoparticle characteristics, and optimising production parameters. Together, these advancements highlight the feasibility of scaling fungus-mediated nanoparticle synthesis to meet industrial requirements across multiple operational domains.
Traditional nanoparticle production often relies on hazardous or costly processes. Utilising fungi provides a greener, economically viable alternative that produces biocompatible nanomaterials naturally. Understanding how to refine fungal synthesis conditions helps industries pursue sustainable manufacturing practices, paving the way towards cleaner, bio-based nanotechnology solutions for broad operational use.
The abstract positions fungal-mediated nanoparticle production as an economically viable approach for industrial users seeking sustainable nanomaterials. Potential applications centre generally on industrial manufacturing where biocompatible and eco-friendly nanoparticles are required. Because the abstract provides a broad overview focusing on synthesis mechanisms and condition optimisation rather than specific market trials or commercial formulations, this work reflects early-stage research aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of scaled industrial production.
