Abstract

The present review focused on synthesis of nanoparticles using an eco-friendly approach through microorganisms, especially fungi. Various physical and chemical methods and techniques have been developed by scientists and researchers to manufacture nanoparticles. But nanoparticles synthesized in these forms are not eco-friendly and often allow toxic compounds to be released which could have adverse effects on nature and in human beings. It is therefore important to develop eco-friendly and economical techniques for nanoparticle synthesis and to respond to green approaches by using natural microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae, etc. which are capable of producing nanoparticles. Today’s biologist works on most of the biological material for nanoparticle synthesis but shaping all of these is focused on fungi for nanoparticles that can help to reduce time and we can obtain nanoparticles in desired size and shape. This is also the key reason for using fungal microbes for nanoparticle synthesis to grow perfect and non-toxic material production, which can help to reduce environmental impacts, increase energy efficiency and mitigate environmental pollution. The present review therefore emphasized the biological method for the synthesis of nanoparticles by fungi, the development of different types of metal nanoparticles by fungal microbe and the application of novel nanoparticles in the current emerging sector.
