Bifunctional role of some biogenic nanoparticles in controlling wilt disease and promoting growth of common bean.

In the present era, nanomaterials are emerging as a powerful tool for management of plant disease and improving crop production to meet the growing global need for food. Thus, this paper was conducted to explore the effectiveness of five different types of nanoparticles (NPs) viz., CoONPs, CuONPs, FeONPs, NiONPs, and ZnONPs as treatments for Fusarium wilt as well as their role in promoting growth of the common bean plant.

Exploiting the exceptional biosynthetic potency of the endophytic in enhancing production of CoO, CuO, FeO, NiO, and ZnO nanoparticles using bioprocess optimization and gamma irradiation.

Developing a suitable applicative process and scaling up the microbial synthesis of nanomaterials is an attractive and emerging prospect for a future sustainable industrial production. In this paper, optimization of fermentation conditions for enhanced production of CoO, CuO, FeO, NiO, and ZnO nanoparticles by the endophytic ORG-1 was studied. Different cultivation conditions were evaluated.

Novel mycosynthesis of CoO, CuO, FeO, NiO, and ZnO nanoparticles by the endophytic Aspergillus terreus and evaluation of their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Several fungal endophytes were isolated and screened for their ability to biosynthesize a variety of nanoparticles (NPs), as a potentially simple and eco-friendly method with low cost. Among these fungi, a promising isolate named ORG-1 was found able to synthesize five different NPs types: CoONPs, CuONPs, FeONPs, NiONPs, and ZnONPs. The ORG-1 strain was identified as Aspergillus terreus according to the morphological and molecular studies.
