Article Synopsis
- The study developed a method using endophytic fungal extracts to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and assessed their antimicrobial and anticancer potential.
- Various characterization techniques confirmed that the synthesized ZnO NPs were pure, mostly hexagonal, and ranged from 34-55 nm in size, demonstrating effective antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- The ZnO NPs showed significant internalization in cancer cells without damaging cell morphology, exhibiting notable anticancer effects at a concentration of 1 μg/mL.
