Article Synopsis
- This research focused on creating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from an endophytic fungus, optimizing factors like temperature, media, pH, and silver nitrate concentration for effective synthesis.
- The AgNPs were then encapsulated with chitosan using microwave heating, and their properties were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, confirming stability and interaction with chitosan.
- The study demonstrated that the resulting chitosan-encapsulated AgNPs showed significant antifungal activity, particularly achieving a 93% reduction in mycelial growth against certain fungal pathogens.
