Silver nanoparticles biosynthesis using an airborne fungal isolate, : optimization, characterization and antibacterial activity.

Background And Objectives: Nanoscience is one of the most important branches of modern science, which deals with the knowledge, structure, and properties of nanoparticles. This study aimed to investigate the ability of an airborne fungus () to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and to test the antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs.

Materials And Methods: The confirmation of AgNPs synthesis and the characterization of their properties were done using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Zeta potential, Zeta sizer, FT-IR, and XRD analyses.
