Abstract
Fungi-mediated synthesis of Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has advantages in: high efficiency, low energy consumption, no need for extra capping and stabilizing agents, simple operation, and easy isolation and purification. Many fungi have been found to synthesize AuNPs inside cells or outside cells, providing different composition and properties of particles when different fungi species or reaction conditions are used. This is good to produce AuNPs with different properties, but may cause challenges to precisely control the particle shape, size, and activities. Besides, low concentrations of substrate and fungal biomass are needed to synthesize small-size particles, limiting the yield of AuNPs in a large scale. To find clues for the development methods to solve these challenges, the reported mechanisms of the fungi-mediated synthesis of AuNPs were summarized. The mechanisms of intracellular AuNPs synthesis are dependent on gold ions absorption by the fungal cell wall via proteins, polysaccharides, or electric absorption, and the reduction of gold ions via enzymes, proteins, and other cytoplasmic redox mediators in the cytoplasm or cell wall. The extracellular synthesis of AuNPs is mainly due to the metabolites outside fungal cells, including proteins, peptides, enzymes, and phenolic metabolites. These mechanisms cause the great diversity of the produced AuNPs in functional groups, element composition, shapes, sizes, and properties. Many methods have been developed to improve the synthesis efficiency by changing: chloroauric acid concentrations, reaction temperature, pH, fungal mass, and reaction time. However, future studies are still required to precisely control the: shape, size, composition, and properties of fungal AuNPs.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) by using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has gained relevance for the identification of biomolecules and some cancer cells. Searching for greener NPs synthesis alternatives, we evaluated the SERS properties of AuNPs produced by using different filamentous fungi. The AuNPs were synthesized utilizing the supernatant of Botrytis cinerea, Trichoderma atroviride, Trichoderma asperellum, Alternaria sp. and Ganoderma sessile. The AuNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) to identify its characteristic surface plasmon resonance, which was located at 545 nm (B. cinerea), 550 nm (T. atroviride), 540 nm (T. asperellum), 530 nm (Alternaria sp.), and 525 nm (G. sessile). Morphology, size and crystal structure were characterized through transmission electron microscopy (TEM); colloidal stability was assessed by Z-potential measurements. We found that, under specific incubation conditions, it was possible to obtain AuNPs with spherical and quasi-spherical shapes, which mean size range depends on the fungal species supernatant with 92.9 nm (B. cinerea), 24.7 nm (T. atroviride), 16.4 nm (T. asperellum), 9.5 nm (Alternaria sp.), and 13.6 nm (G. sessile). This, as it can be expected, has an effect on Raman amplification. A micro-Raman spectroscopy system operated at a wavelength of 532 nm was used for the evaluation of the SERS features of the AuNPs. We chose methylene blue as our target molecule since it has been widely used for such a purpose in the literature. Our results show that AuNPs synthesized with the supernatant of T. atroviride, T. asperellum and Alternaria sp. produce the stronger SERS effect, with enhancement factor (EF) of 20.9, 28.8 and 35.46, respectively. These results are promising and could serve as the base line for the development of biosensors through a facile, simple, and low-cost green alternative.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have gained importance in the field of biomedical research and diagnostics due to their unique physicochemical properties. This study aimed to synthesize AuNPs using Aloe vera extract, honey, and Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract. Physicochemical parameters for the optimal synthesis of AuNPs were determined using 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mM of gold salt at varying temperatures from 20 to 50 °C. X-ray diffraction was used to evaluate the crystal structure of AuNPs, which came out to be a face-centered cubic structure. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis confirmed the size and shape of AuNPs between 20 and 50 nm from the Aloe vera, honey, and Gymnema sylvestre, as well as large-sized nanocubes in the case of honey, with 21-34 wt % of gold content. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of a broadband of amine (N-H) and alcohol groups (O-H) on the surface of the synthesized AuNPs that prevents them from agglomeration and provides stability. Broad and weak bands of aliphatic ether (C-O), alkane (C-H), and other functional groups were also found on these AuNPs. DPPH antioxidant activity assay showed a high free radical scavenging potential. The most suited source was selected for further conjugation with three anticancer drugs including 4-hydroxy Tamoxifen, HIF1 alpha inhibitor, and the soluble Guanylyl Cyclase Inhibitor 1 H-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo [4,3-alpha]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ). Evidence of the pegylated drug conjugation with AuNPs was reinforced by ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy. These drug-conjugated nanoparticles were further checked on MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells for their cytotoxicity. These AuNP-conjugated drugs can be a good candidate for breast cancer treatment that will lead toward safe, economical, biocompatible, and targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
This study intends to biosynthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Amycolatopsis sp. KMN and to investigate its potential antibiofilm, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. The physicochemical characterization of biosynthesize AuNPs was identified by UV-Visible, energy-dispersive X-ray, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering methods. Crystal violet assay and scanning electron microscopy showed that the AuNPs with a particle size of 44.4 nm have a strong antibiofilm activity (at 750 µg/ml concentration) against bacteria strains viz Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. The result also demonstrated strong cytotoxic activity against two cell lines, MCF-7 and HT-29. The MTT test result displayed that over a period of 48 hr, the IC50 of AuNPs was 600 and 300 µg/ml for MCF-7 and HT-29 cell lines, respectively. The IC50 of AuNPs against DPPH was 46.87 µg/ml. This is the first report that examines Amycolatopsis sp. strain KMN-mediated synthesis of AuNPs is rapid and in situ with antibiofilm and cytotoxicity activities. Moreover, it has the potential for an effective antibiofilm and cytotoxic activity that could be used in future therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have shown considerable potential in a vast number of biomedical applications. However, currently there are no clinically approved injectable GNP formulations. Conversely, gold salts have been used in the clinic for nearly a century. Further, there is evidence of GNP formation in patients treated with gold salts (i.e., chrysiasis). Recent reports evaluating this phenomenon in human cells and in murine models indicate that the use of gold ions for in situ formation of theranostic GNPs could greatly improve the delivery within dense biological tissues, increase efficiency of intracellular gold uptake, and specificity of GNP formation within cancer cells. These attributes in combination with safe clinical application of gold salts make this process a viable strategy for clinical translation. Here, the first summary of the current knowledge related to GNP biomineralization in mammalian cells is provided along with critical assessment of potential biomedical applications of this newly emergent field.

Abstract
Due to their unique characteristics, nanomaterials are widely used in many applications including water treatment. They are usually synthesized via physiochemical methods mostly involving toxic chemicals and extreme conditions. Recently, the biogenic metal nanoparticles (Bio-Me-NPs) with microbes have triggered extensive exploration. Besides their environmental-friendly raw materials and ambient biosynthesis conditions, Bio-Me-NPs also exhibit the unique surface properties and crystalline structures, which could eliminate various contaminants from water. Recent findings in the synthesis, morphology, composition, and structure of Bio-Me-NPs have been reviewed here, with an emphasis on the metal elements of Fe, Mn, Pd, Au, and Ag and their composites which are synthesized by bacteria, fungi, and algae. Furthermore, the mechanisms of eliminating organic and inorganic contaminants with Bio-Me-NPs are elucidated in detail, including adsorption, oxidation, reduction, and catalysis. The scale-up applicability of Bio-Me-NPs is also discussed.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the main heavy metal in rice, Cd uptake by cereal crops from soil leads to toxicity in plants and pose serious health risks due to human body's accumulation through the food chain. Astaxanthin, a natural and anti-oxidative oxycarotenoid, is widely distributed in various microorganisms and seafood. In this study, we demonstrated that astaxanthin in the form of gold nanoparticles (Ast-AuNPs) can efficiently alleviate Cd toxicity to a greater extent in hydroponically grown rice plants than single astaxanthin. When supplemented with 100 μg/mL Ast-AuNPs in medium, the Cd level of rice was significantly reduced by 26.2% (in roots) and 85.9% (in leaves), respectively. We also found Ast-AuNPs supplement restores chlorophyll biosynthesis and mitigate Cd-induced oxidative stresses: the contents of superoxide anion (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly reduced while the activity of the antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase) was significantly elevated. Further study showed that the supplement of Ast-AuNPs inhibited Cd-induced gene expression of the metal transporter genes (OsHMA2, OsHMA3, OsIRT1, OsIRT2, OsNramp1, and OsNramp5) in rice roots. Moreover, Ast-AuNPs regulated the metabolism of free amino acids and increased the level of non-enzymatic antioxidants such as glutathione and ascorbic acid. Therefore, this study demonstrates that Ast-AuNPs could mitigate the Cd toxicity in rice seedlings by suppressing Cd uptake, scavenging of ROS, and enhancing the activity of antioxidants, and also expands the application of functional gold nanoparticles in the alleviation of heavy metal pollution in plants.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is considered one of the paramount forefronts in science over the last decade. Its versatile implementations and fast-growing demand have paved the way for innovative measures for the synthesis of higher quality nanomaterials. In the early stages, traditional synthesis methods were utilized, and they relied on both carcinogenic chemicals and high energy input for production of nano-sized material. The pollution produced as a result of traditional synthesis methods induces a need for environmentally safer synthesis methods. As the downfalls of climate change become more abundant, the scientific community is persistently seeking solutions to combat the devastation caused by toxic production methods. Green methods for nanomaterial synthesis apply natural biological systems to nanomaterial production. The present review highlights the history of nanoparticle synthesis, starting with traditional methods and progressing towards green methods. Green synthesis is a method just as effective, if not more so, than traditional synthesis; it provides a sustainable approach to nanomaterial manufacturing by using naturally sourced starting materials and relying on low energy processes. The recent use of active molecules in natural biological systems such as bacteria, yeast, algae and fungi report successful results in the synthesis of various nanoparticle systems. Thus, the integration of green synthesis in scientific research and mass production provides a potential solution to the limitations of traditional synthesis methods.

Abstract
Biomanufacturing metal/metallic nanomaterials with ordered micro/nanostructures and controllable functions is of great importance in both fundamental studies and practical applications due to their low toxicity, lower pollution production, and energy conservation. Microorganisms, as efficient biofactories, have a significant ability to biomineralize and bioreduce metal ions that can be obtained as nanocrystals of varying morphologies and sizes. The development of nanoparticle biosynthesis maximizes the safety and sustainability of the nanoparticle preparation. Significant efforts and progress have been made to develop new green and environmentally friendly methods for biocompatible metal/metallic nanomaterials. In this review, we mainly focus on the microbial biomanufacture of different metal/metallic nanomaterials due to their unique advantages of wide availability, environmental acceptability, low cost, and circular sustainability. Specifically, we summarize recent and important advances in the synthesis strategies and mechanisms for different types of metal/metallic nanomaterials using different microorganisms. Finally, we highlight the current challenges and future research directions in this growing multidisciplinary field of biomaterials science, nanoscience, and nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Biologically induced and controlled mineralization of metals promotes the development of protective structures to shield cells from thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet stresses. Metal biomineralization is widely considered to have been relevant for the survival of life in the environmental conditions of ancient terrestrial oceans. Similar behavior is seen among extremophilic biomineralizers today, which have evolved to inhabit a variety of industrial aqueous environments with elevated metal concentrations. As an example of extreme biomineralization, we introduce the category of "forced biomineralization", which we use to refer to the biologically mediated sequestration of dissolved metals and metalloids into minerals. We discuss forced mineralization as it is known to be carried out by a variety of organisms, including polyextremophiles in a range of psychrophilic, thermophilic, anaerobic, alkaliphilic, acidophilic, and halophilic conditions, as well as in environments with very high or toxic metal ion concentrations. While much additional work lies ahead to characterize the various pathways by which these biominerals form, forced biomineralization has been shown to provide insights for the progression of extreme biomimetics, allowing for promising new forays into creating the next generation of composites using organic-templating approaches under biologically extreme laboratory conditions relevant to a wide range of industrial conditions.

Abstract
Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) through simple, rapid, eco-friendly and an economical method with a new haloalkaliphilic bacterial strain (Alkalibacillus sp. W7) was investigated. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BP) was used to optimize the process parameters (ZnSO4.7H2O concentration, temperature, and pH) affecting the size of Alkalibacillus-ZnO NPs (Alk-ZnO NPs). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Zeta potential. The UV-Vis spectrum of ZnO NPs revealed a characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 310 nm. XRD pattern confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of highly pure with a crystallite size 19.5 nm. TEM proved the quasi-spherical shape nanoparticles of size ranging from 1 to 30 nm. SEM-EDX showed spherical shaped and displayed a maximum elemental distribution of zinc and oxygen. FTIR provided an evidence that the biofunctional groups of metabolites in Alkalibacillus sp.W7 supernatant acted as viable reducing, capping and stabilizing agents.

Abstract
Depositing nanoparticles in textiles have been a promising strategy to achieve multifunctional materials. Particularly, antimicrobial properties are highly valuable due to the emergence of new pathogens and the spread of existing ones. Several methods have been used to functionalize textile materials with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Therefore, this review highlighted the most used methods for AuNPs preparation and the current studies on the topic in order to obtain AuNPs with suitable properties for antimicrobial applications and minimize the environmental concerns in their production. Reporting the detailed information on the functionalization of fabrics, yarns, and fibers with AuNPs by different methods to improve the antimicrobial properties was the central objective. The studies combining AuNPs and textile materials have opened valuable opportunities to develop antimicrobial materials for health and hygiene products, as infection control and barrier material, with improved properties. Future studies are needed to amplify the antimicrobial effect of AuNPs onto textiles and minimize the concerns related to the synthesis.

Abstract
In nature, microorganisms developed at various places and adapted to the various weather and geological conditions. Microorganisms participate in geological transformations leading to the dissolution of some minerals and conversion to others. While some microorganisms with their metabolic activity increase the mobility of metals, others cause precipitation of metals and the formation of new minerals. These biogeochemical interactions found practical application in the recovery of metals. In the article, the proposals for improvement of existing engineering commercial processes for recovery of metals are given which can enable the formation of nanogold and nanogold compounds.Key points• Amino acids in pretreatment can increase the dissolution of the layer around the gold.• Amino acids in the complexing stage can increase gold leaching.• After the complexing stage, the bionanosynthesis of gold and its compounds is possible.

Abstract
Industrial activities, such as mining, electroplating, cement production, and metallurgical operations, as well as manufacturing of plastics, fertilizers, pesticides, batteries, dyes or anticorrosive agents, can cause metal contamination in the surrounding environment. This is an acute problem due to the non-biodegradable nature of metal pollutants, their transformation into toxic and carcinogenic compounds, and bioaccumulation through the food chain. At the same time, platinum group metals and rare earth elements are of strong economic interest and their recovery is incentivized. Microbial interaction with metals or metals-bearing minerals can facilitate metals recovery in the form of nanoparticles. Metal nanoparticles are gaining increasing attention due to their unique characteristics and application as antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents, biocatalysts, in targeted drug delivery, for wastewater treatment, and in water electrolysis. Ideally, metal nanoparticles should be homogenous in shape and size, and not toxic to humans or the environment. Microbial synthesis of nanoparticles represents a safe, and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical and physical methods. In this review article, we mainly focus on metal and metal salts nanoparticles synthesized by various microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and yeasts, as well as their advantages in biomedical, health, and environmental applications.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles are being extensively used in biomedical fields due to their small size-to-volume ratio and extensive thermal stability. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are an obvious choice for biomedical applications due to their amenability of synthesis, stabilization, and functionalization, low toxicity, and ease of detection. In the past few decades, various chemical methods have been used for the synthesis of AuNPs, but recently, newer environment friendly green approaches for the synthesis of AuNPs have gained attention. AuNPs can be conjugated with a number of functionalizing moieties including ligands, therapeutic agents, DNA, amino acids, proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides. Recently, studies have shown that gold nanoparticles not only infiltrate the blood vessels to reach the site of tumor but also enter inside the organelles, suggesting that they can be employed as effective drug carriers. Moreover, after reaching their target site, gold nanoparticles can release their payload upon an external or internal stimulus. This review focuses on recent advances in various methods of synthesis of AuNPs. In addition, strategies of functionalization and mechanisms of application of AuNPs in drug and bio-macromolecule delivery and release of payloads at target site are comprehensively discussed.

Abstract
The study investigated in situ biosynthesis of albumin capped 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) loaded gold nanoparticles (NPs) using bacterial extract for enhanced efficacy against MCF-7 and in silico prediction using a GastroPlus® software. The optimized formulations were characterized for morphology, size, zeta potential, drug loading (%DL) and entrapment (%EE), compatibility, in vitro drug release, in vitro hemolysis, cellular toxicity and apoptosis studies. The results exhibited highly dispersed albumin capped mono-metallic stable NPs. Spherical size, negative zeta potential and polydispersity index were in range of 38.25–249.62 nm, 18.18–29.87 mV and 0.11–0.283, respectively. F11, F7 and F3 showed a progressive increase in %DL and %EE with increased concentration of the cellular lysate (100% > 50% > 10%). The drug release was relatively extended over 48 h as compared to drug solution (96.64% release within 5 h). The hemolysis result ensured hemocompatibility (<14%) at the explored concentration. The biogenic F11 was more cytotoxic (81.99% inhibition by F11 and 72.04% by pure 5-FU) to the MCF-7 cell lines as compared to others which may be attributed to the preferential accumulation by the tumor cell and capped albumin as the source of energy to the cancer cells. Finally, GastroPlus® predicted the key factors responsible for improved pharmacokinetics parameters and regional absorption from various segments of human intestine. Thus, the approach can be more efficacious and suitable to control breast cancer when administered transdermally or orally.

Abstract
Non-spherical metal-based and carbon-based nanostructures have found applications in every facet of scientific endeavors, including engineering and biomedical fields. These nanostructures attract attention because of their biocompatibility and negligible cytotoxicity. Chemical and physical methods have been used for synthesizing earlier generations of metal-based and carbon-based nanostructures with variable architectures, including nanorods, nanowires, nanodots and nanosheets. However, these synthesis strategies utilize organic passivators which are toxic to the environment and the human body. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles is becoming increasing popular because of the necessity to develop eco-friendly and non-toxic strategies. Nanoparticles synthesized by natural compounds have immense potential in the biomedical arena. The present review focuses on plant-mediated synthesis of metal-based and carbon-based non-spherical nanoarchitectures and the role of green synthesis in improving their activities for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biorecovery is emerging as a promising approach to retrieve gold from various sources, while its efficiency is usually restricted by the limited functional groups on natural microbial biomass surface. This study aims to intensify Pycnoporus sanguineus boosted sorption-reduction coupled gold biorecovery process via microbial surface modification. Results showed that grafting polyallylamine hydrochloride onto P. sanguineus biomass surface increased amino group content on microbial biomass surface from 1.29 to 2.81 mmol/g. When applying modified biomass to gold biorecovery with initial gold concentrations of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mM, biosorption equilibrium time shortened to the 12.5%, 37.5% and 41.7% of those obtained with pristine biomass, and sorption rate constants correspondingly increased to 11.2, 3.1 and 3.7 folds as well. Maximum sorption capacity increased 30% and the affinity between biomass and gold enhanced heavily after microbial surface modification. Meanwhile, microbial surface modification favored gold reduction and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) formation. The change of microbial biomass morphology from smooth surface with some branched structure to layered stacking structure with many pores and the increase of amino group content on microbial biomass surface were the main impetus for the gold bioreocovery process intensification.

Abstract
AIMS Investigate the capability of Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 to mycosynthesize Co3 O4 -NPs. METHODS AND RESULTS Mycelial cell-free filtrate of A. brasiliensis ATCC 16404 was applied for mycosynthesis of Co3 O4 -NPs. The preliminary indication for the formation of Co3 O4 -NPs was the change in colour from yellow to reddish-brown. One-factor-at a time-optimization technique was applied to determine the optimum physicochemical conditions required for the mycosynthesis of Co3 O4 -NPs and they were found to be: 72 h for reaction time, pH 11, 30°C, 100 rev min-1 for shaking speed in the darkness using 4 mmol l-1 of CoSO4. 7H2 O and 5·5% of A. brasiliensis dry weight mycelium (w/v). The mycosynthesized Co3 O4 -NPs were characterized using various techniques: spectroscopy including UV/Vis spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurement, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction; and vibrating sample magnetometry and microscopy including field emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Spectroscopic techniques confirmed the formation of Co3 O4 -NPs and the microscopic ones confirmed the shape and size of the mycosynthesized Co3 O4 -NPs as quasi-spherical shaped, monodispersed nanoparticles with a nano size range of 20-27 nm. The mycosynthesized Co3 O4 -NPs have excellent magnetic properties and exhibited a good antimicrobial activity against some pathogenic micro-organisms. CONCLUSION Ferromagnetic Co3 O4 -NPs with considerable antimicrobial activity were for the first time mycosynthesized. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The use of fungi as potential bionanofactories for mycosynthesis of nanoparticles is relatively a recent field of research with considerable prospects.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly, efficient, and economical methods of gold recovery are significant challenges for high-tech industries and environmental protection. In this study, Phomopsis sp. XP-8, a filamentous endophytic fungus, demonstrated great potential for selectively recovering gold from electronic wastewater without any pretreatment and was shown to be convenient and safe in practical application. Under optimum conditions, the gold recovery rate was more than 80% at a dilute concentration of Au3+. Model-fitting analysis indicated the adsorption of Au3+ was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum Au3+ adsorption was from 208 to 280 mg/g within the temperature range of 20-50 °C. The data from electronic wastewater revealed its great potential for selective recovery of gold from complex aqueous solutions. Additionally, the formed nanogold-bioconjugates exhibited efficient degradation of toxic dyes in wastewater, which demonstrated the potential application of these byproducts produced via the biosorption process.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of nanomaterials is a huge and intensifying field of research due to their application in various areas, in particular the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. In this review, we focused on the biosynthesis of both metallic and semiconductor nanomaterials and their application in biomedicine and pharmaceutics. In order to meet an exponentially increasing need for nanostructured materials, the biological route for the synthesis of nanomaterials will have to be explored, offering advantages over chemical and physical methods as a simpler, more cost effective, and environmentally friendly method, and for which there is no need to use high pressure and temperatures or toxic chemicals. This review discusses in detail the potential role of bioreducing and capping/stabilizing agents in biosynthesis. This review also investigates the application of various biosynthetic nanomaterials as antimicrobial materials, in clinical detection, for drug delivery and wound-healing, and as anti-diabetic materials.

Abstract
Understanding the synthetic mechanisms and cell-nanoparticle interactions of biosynthesized and functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using natural products is of great importance for developing their applications in nanomedicine. In this study, we detailed the biotransformation mechanism of Au(III) into AuNPs using a hydroxylated tetraterpenoid deinoxanthin (DX) from the extremophile Deinococcus radiodurans. During the process, Au(III) was rapidly reduced to Au(I) and subsequently reduced to Au(0) by deprotonation of the hydroxyl head groups of the tetraterpenoid. The oxidized form, deprotonated 2-ketodeinoxanthin (DX3), served as a surface-capping agent to stabilize the AuNPs. The functionalized DX-AuNPs demonstrated stronger inhibitory activity against cancer cells compared with sodium citrate-AuNPs and were nontoxic to normal cells. DX-AuNPs accumulated in the cytoplasm, organelles, and nuclei, and induced reactive oxygen species generation, DNA damage, and apoptosis within MCF-7 cancer cells. In the cells treated with DX-AuNPs, 374 genes, including RRAGC gene, were upregulated; 135 genes, including the genes encoding FOXM1 and NR4A1, were downregulated. These genes are mostly involved in metabolism, cell growth, DNA damage, oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis. The anticancer activity of the DX-AuNPs was attributed to the alteration of gene expression and induction of apoptosis. Our results provide significant insight into the synthesis mechanism of AuNPs functionalized with natural tetraterpenoids, which possess enhanced anticancer potential.

Abstract
AIMS Since mycosynthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is advertised as a promising and ecofriendly approach. Thus, this study aims to investigate the capability of Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 for mycosynthesis of silver NPs (AgNPs). METHODS AND RESULTS One-factor-at-a-time-technique was used to study the effect of different physicochemical parameters: the reaction time, pH, temperature, different stirring rates, illumination, and finally, the different concentrations of silver nitrate and fungal biomass on the mycosynthesis of AgNPs. The visual observation showed the characteristic brown colour formation due to the bioreduction of Ag+ ions to Ag0 by the mycelial cell-free filtrate (MCFF). The UV/visible spectrophotometric technique displayed a characteristic sharp peak at ʎ440 confirming the mycosynthesis of AgNPs. The zeta potential value -16·7 mV assured the long-term stability of AgNPs and the dynamic light scattering analysis revealed good dispersion and average particle size 77 nm. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy displayed a maximum elemental distribution of silver elements. The X-ray diffraction spectroscopy demonstrated the crystallinity of the mycosynthesized AgNPs. The field emission scanning electron microscope and high-resolution transmission electron microscope revealed monodispersed spherical shaped AgNPs with average particle size of 6-21 nm. The FTIR analysis showed the major peaks of proteins providing the possible role of MCFF in the synthesis and stabilization of the AgNPs. The mycosynthesized AgNPs expressed good biocidal activity against different pathogenic micro-organisms causing some water-related diseases and health problems to local residents. CONCLUSIONS This study proved that A. brasiliensis ATCC 16404 MCFF has good potential for mycosynthesis of AgNPs, which exhibited good antimicrobial effect on different pathogenic micro-organisms; thus, it can be applied for water disinfection. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This research provides a helpful insight into the development of a new mycosynthesized antimicrobial agent.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by microbes has received much attention as an efficient and eco-friendly process. However, the characteristics of AuNPs biosynthesized by different microbial cell-free extracts are rarely comparatively studied. In this study, three locally isolated strains, i.e., bacteria Labrys sp. WJW, yeast Trichosporon montevideense WIN, and filamentous fungus Aspergillus sp. WL-Au, were selected for AuNPs biosynthesis. UV-Vis absorption bands at 538, 539, and 543 nm confirmed the formation of AuNPs by these strains. Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses revealed that the as-synthesized AuNPs were crystalline with spherical or pseudo-spherical shapes. However, the average sizes of these AuNPs were diverse, which were 18.8, 22.2 and 9.5 nm, respectively. The biomolecules involved in nanoparticles stabilization were demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. Four common functional groups such as -N-H, -C=C, -N=O, and -S=O groups were detected in these AuNPs, while a distinct -C=O group was involved in WL-Au-AuNPs. The catalytic rate of WL-Au-AuNPs toward 4-nitrophenol reduction (0.37 min-1) was much higher than those of others (WJW-AuNPs 0.27 min-1 and WIN-AuNPs 0.23 min-1). This research would provide useful information for exploring efficient microbial candidates to synthesize AuNPs with excellent performances.

Abstract
Background Biosynthesis of noble metallic nanoparticles (NPs) has attracted significant interest due to their environmental friendly and biocompatible properties. Methods In this study, we investigated syntheses of Au, Ag and Au–Ag bimetallic NPs using protein extracts of Deinococcus radiodurans, which demonstrated powerful metal-reducing ability. The obtained NPs were characterized and analyzed by various spectroscopy techniques. Results The D. radiodurans protein extract-mediated silver nanoparticles (Drp-AgNPs) were preferably monodispersed and stably distributed compared to D. radiodurans protein extract-mediated gold nanoparticles (Drp-AuNPs). Drp-AgNPs and Drp-AuNPs exhibited spherical morphology with average sizes of 37.13±5.97 nm and 51.72±7.38 nm and zeta potential values of −18.31±1.39 mV and −15.17±1.24 mV at pH 7, respectively. The release efficiencies of Drp-AuNPs and Drp-AgNPs measured at 24 h were 3.99% and 18.20%, respectively. During the synthesis process, Au(III) was reduced to Au(I) and further to Au(0) and Ag(I) was reduced to Ag(0) by interactions with the hydroxyl, amine, carboxyl, phospho or sulfhydryl groups of proteins and subsequently stabilized by these groups. Some characteristics of Drp-AuNPs were different from those of Drp-AgNPs, which could be attributed to the interaction of the NPs with different binding groups of proteins. The Drp-AgNPs could be further formed into Au–Ag bimetallic NPs via galvanic replacement reaction. Drp-AuNPs and Au–Ag bimetallic NPs showed low cytotoxicity against MCF-10A cells due to the lower level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation than that of Drp-AgNPs. Conclusions These results are crucial to understand the biosynthetic mechanism and properties of noble metallic NPs using the protein extracts of bacteria. The biocompatible Au or Au–Ag bimetallic NPs are applicable in biosensing, bioimaging and biomedicine.

Abstract
In this research, a simple and facile method was developed for preparation of antibacterial polyurethanes/Ag NPs composites, where tannic acid-based hyperbranched waterborne polyurethanes (THWPU) was employed as both reductant and stabilizer to in situ and controllably synthesize Ag NPs at mild room temperature. The resultant Ag NPs in THWPU was confirmed by UV spectrophotometer, SEM and EDX. The effects of reaction temperature on the properties of the formed Ag NPs were investigated, and the results showed that the formed Ag NPs under room temperature and 80 °C were both spherical, whereas increasing the reaction temperature benefits for promoting the formation of Ag NPs and narrowing the size distribution of the formed Ag NPs. Furthermore, triangular Ag NPs were in situ synthesized in THWPU via adding strong reductant (NaBH4) during the formation of Ag NPs. Both spherical and triangular Ag NPs enhanced the mechanical property, thermal stability and antibacterial performance of THWPU. More importantly, our results demonstrated that formation of spherical Ag NPs in THWPU were beneficial for improving the mechanical property and thermal stability of THWPU, while the formation of triangular Ag NPs enabled THWPU better antibacterial performance against E. coli and S. aureus. Given these advantages, our obtained Ag NPs nanocomposites could be suitable for a broad range of commercial applications, such as medical products, children's products. A simple and facile method was developed for preparation of antibacterial polyurethanes/Ag NPs composites by using tannic acid-based hyperbranched waterborne polyurethanes (THWPU).![]()

Abstract
A green and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed using the cell-free extracts of a yeast strain Magnusiomyces ingens LH-F1. UV-vis spectra showed a distinct absorption band at ~ 540 nm, corresponding to the surface plasmon resonance of AuNPs. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the shapes of AuNPs were almost spherical and pseudo-spherical. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analyses suggested that some proteins containing amino- and carboxyl-groups in the cell-free extracts were absorbed on the surface of nanoparticles, which could act as reducing and capping agents for AuNPs synthesis. Furthermore, with the concentration of cell-free extracts increasing from 25 to 200 mg L-1, the average size of AuNPs decreased from 28.3 to 20.3 nm. Meanwhile, the morphology became more uniform with less irregular shapes. In addition, the as-synthesized AuNPs showed an excellent catalytic activity for nitrophenols reduction (i.e., 4-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol and 2-nitrophenol) in the presence of excess NaBH4. The catalytic rate constant of nitrophenols reduction was also dependent on cell-free extract concentration. The larger AuNPs synthesized by less cell-free extracts were covered with a thinner corona and showed better capacity for reducing nitrophenols. This study suggested that the as-synthesized AuNPs could be employed as efficient catalysts in reduction of organic contaminants.

Abstract
Bacterial colonization on medical devices is a major concern in the healthcare industry. In the present study, we report synthesis of environmental sustainable reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on the large scale through biosynthetic route and its potential application for antibacterial coating on medical devices. HRTEM image depicts formation of graphene nanosheet, while DLS and ζ potential studies reveal that in aqueous medium the average hydrodynamic size and surface charge of rGO are 4410 ± 116 nm and -25.2 ± 3.2 mV, respectively. The Raman, FTIR, and XPS data suggest in situ conjugation of protein with rGO. The as-synthesized rGO protein nanoframework exhibits dose-dependent antibacterial activity and potential of killing of 94% of Escherichia coli when treated with 80 μg/mL of rGO for 4 h. The hemolytic and cytotoxicity studies demonstrate that rGO protein nanoframework is highly biocompatible at the same concentration showing significant antimicrobial properties. The rGO coated on the glass surface obtained through covalent bonding exhibits potent antibacterial activity. Antibacterial mechanism further demonstrates that rGO-protein nanoframework in dispersed state (rGO solution) exerts bactericidal effect through physical disruption accompanied by ROS-mediated biochemical responses. The rGO subsequently entering into the cytoplasm through the damaged membrane causes metabolic imbalance in the cells. In sharp contrast, physical damage of the cell membrane is the dominant antibacterial mechanism of rGO in the immobilized state (rGO coated glass). The obtained results help indepth understanding of the antibacterial mechanism of the biosynthesized rGO and a novel way to develop nontoxic antibacterial coating on medical devices to prevent bacterial infection.

Abstract
Developing an eco-friendly approach for metallic nanoparticles synthesis is important in current nanotechnology research. In this study, green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was carried out by a newly isolated strain Trichoderma sp. WL-Go. UV-vis spectra of AuNPs showed a surface plasmon resonance peak at 550nm, and transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the AuNPs were of varied shape with well dispersibility. The optimal conditions for AuNPs synthesis were HAuCl4 1.0mmol/L, biomass 0.5g and pH7-11. Moreover, the bio-AuNPs could efficiently catalyze the decolorization of various azo dyes. This research provided a new microbial resource candidate for green synthesis of AuNPs and demonstrated the potential application of bio-AuNPs for azo dye decolorization.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Biosynthesis of gold nanostructures has drawn increasing concerns because of its green and sustainable synthetic process. However, biosynthesis of gold nanoplates is still a challenge because of the expensive source and difficulties of controllable formation of morphology and size. Herein, one-pot biosynthesis of gold nanoplates is proposed, in which cheap yeast was extracted as a green precursor. The morphologies and sizes of the gold nanostructures can be controlled via varying the pH value of the biomedium. In acid condition, gold nanoplates with side length from 1300 ± 200 to 300 ± 100 nm and height from 18 to 15 nm were obtained by increasing the pH value. Whereas, in neutral or basic condition, only gold nanoflowers and nanoparticles were obtained. It was determined that organic molecules, such as succinic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, and glutathione, which are generated in metabolism process, played important role in the reduction of gold ions. Besides, it was found that the gold nanoplates exhibited plasmonic property with prominent dipole infrared resonance in near-infrared region, indicating their potential in surface plasmon-enhanced applications, such as bioimaging and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Spherical, rectangular, penta, and hexagonal silver nanoparticles of different dimensions were biosynthesized in an eco-friendly manner by biocontrol agent, Trichoderma viride by manipulating physical parameters, pH, temperature, and reaction time. The particles were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy; Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR). Shape and size dependent antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles against human pathogens was observed. Maximum inhibition was found with spherical nanoparticles (2-5 nm) showing 40, 51, 43, 53.9 and 55.8% against Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus. aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively, where as pentagonal and hexagonal nanoparticles (50-100 nm) demonstrated 32, 41, 31, 42.84 and 42.80% of inhibition as compared to control. Nanoparticles of different geometry and dimension established enhanced antagonistic activity against pathogens with all the tested antibiotics. Excellent antimicrobial efficacy was obtained with spherical nanoparticles of 2-5 nm with ampicillin and penicillin. Shape and size played major role in enhancing antimicrobial potential of silver nanoparticles, both singly and synergistically with antibiotics which can be exploited to combat the spread of multidrug resistant pathogens.

Abstract
This study evaluates the potential application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as antimicrobial or nematicidal agents produced by the extremophile Bacillus pumilus, which was isolated from the alkaline Wadi El-Natrun Lake in Egypt. The AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The size of AgNPs formed ranged from 20.12 to 29.48 nm. Panagrellus redivivus was exposed to different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μg/mL) of AgNPs in a 5 mL nematode suspension (1 × 103 mL-1). The best result occurred at AgNP concentrations of 150 and 200 μg/mL, with death rates of 80 and 91%, respectively, following 48 h of exposure. AgNPs also exhibited potent antimicrobial properties when using Gram-negative and Gram-positive human pathogens, with MIC and MBC values of 5 and 10 μg/mL, respectively. These laboratory assays prove that biologically synthesized AgNPs are an ecofriendly material that can be used in lieu of solvents or toxic chemicals.

Abstract
Deinococcus radiodurans is an extreme bacterium known for its high resistance to stresses including radiation and oxidants. The ability of D. radiodurans to reduce Au(III) and biosynthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was investigated in aqueous solution by ultraviolet and visible (UV/Vis) absorption spectroscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). D. radiodurans efficiently synthesized AuNPs from 1 mM Au(III) solution in 8 h. The AuNPs were of spherical, triangular and irregular shapes with an average size of 43.75 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.23 as measured by DLS. AuNPs were distributed in the cell envelope, across the cytosol and in the extracellular space. XRD analysis confirmed the crystallite nature of the AuNPs from the cell supernatant. Data from the FTIR and XPS showed that upon binding to proteins or compounds through interactions with carboxyl, amine, phospho and hydroxyl groups, Au(III) may be reduced to Au(I), and further reduced to Au(0) with the capping groups to stabilize the AuNPs. Biosynthesis of AuNPs was optimized with respect to the initial concentration of gold salt, bacterial growth period, solution pH and temperature. The purified AuNPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria by damaging their cytoplasmic membrane. Therefore, the extreme bacterium D. radiodurans can be used as a novel bacterial candidate for efficient biosynthesis of AuNPs, which exhibited potential in biomedical application as an antibacterial agent.

Abstract
Despite their large secretome and wide applications in bioprocesses, fungi remain underexplored in metal nanoparticles (MNP) biosynthesis. Previous studies have shown that cell surface proteins of Rhizopus oryzae play a crucial role in biomineralization of Au(III) to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Therefore, it is hypothesized that purified cell surface protein may produce in vitro AuNPs with narrow size distribution for biomedical and biocatalytic applications. However, different protein extraction methods might affect protein stability and the AuNP biosynthesis process. Herein, we have explored the extraction of cell surface proteins from R. oryzae using common detergents and reducing agent (sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) Triton X-100, and 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT)) and their effect on the size and shape of the biosynthetic AuNPs. The surface proteins extracted with reducing agent (DTT) and non-ionic detergent (Triton X-100) produce spherical AuNPs with a mean particle size of 16±7nm, and 19±4nm, respectively, while the AuNPs produced by the surface protein extracted by ionic detergent (SDS) are flower-like AuNPs with broader size distribution of 43±19nm. This synthetic approach does not require use of any harsh chemicals, multistep preparation and separation process, favouring environmental sustainability. The biosynthetic AuNPs thus formed, are stable in different physiological buffers and hemocompatible, making them suitable for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of nanoparticles has gained great attention in making the process cost-effective and eco-friendly, but there are limited reports which describe the interdependency of physical parameters for tailoring the dimension and geometry of nanoparticles during biological synthesis. In the present study, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) of various shapes and sizes were obtained by modulating different physical parameters using Trichoderma viride filtrate. The particles were characterized on the basis of visual observation, dynamic light scattering, UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X ray diffraction. While the size varied from 2-500 nm, the shapes obtained were nanospheres, nanotriangles, nanopentagons, nanohexagons, and nanosheets. Changing the parameters such as pH, temperature, time, substrate, and culture filtrate concentration influenced the size and geometry of nanoparticles. Catalytic activity of the biosynthesized GNP was evaluated by UV-visible spectroscopy and confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis for the conversion of 4-nitrophenol into 4-aminophenol which was strongly influenced by their structure and dimension. Common practices for biodegradation are traditional, expensive, require large amount of raw material, and time taking. Controlling shapes and sizes of nanoparticles could revolutionize the process of biodegradation that can remove all the hurdles in current scenario.
