Abstract
Oxide and chalcogenide nanoparticles have great potential for use in biomedicine, engineering, agriculture, environmental protection, and other research fields. The myco-synthesis of nanoparticles with fungal cultures, their metabolites, culture liquids, and mycelial and fruit body extracts is simple, cheap and environmentally friendly. The characteristics of nanoparticles, including their size, shape, homogeneity, stability, physical properties and biological activity, can be tuned by changing the myco-synthesis conditions. This review summarizes the data on the diversity of oxide and chalcogenide nanoparticles produced by various fungal species under different experimental conditions.

Abstract
Bionanotechnology, the use of biological resources to produce novel, valuable nanomaterials, has witnessed tremendous developments over the past two decades. This eco-friendly and sustainable approach enables the synthesis of numerous, diverse types of useful nanomaterials for many medical, commercial, and scientific applications. Countless reviews describing the biosynthesis of nanomaterials have been published. However, to the best of our knowledge, no review has been exclusively focused on the in vivo biosynthesis of inorganic nanomaterials. Therefore, the present review is dedicated to filling this gap by describing the many different facets of the in vivo biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using living eukaryotic cells and organisms-more specifically, live plants and living biomass of several species of microalgae, yeast, fungus, mammalian cells, and animals. It also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the synthesis methodologies and the NP characteristics, bio-applications, and proposed synthesis mechanisms. This comprehensive review also brings attention to enabling a better understanding between the living organisms themselves and the synthesis conditions that allow their exploitation as nanobiotechnological production platforms as these might serve as a robust resource to boost and expand the bio-production and use of desirable, functional inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cadmium-tolerant (6 mM)Aspergillus niger(RCMB 002002) biomass was challenged with aqueous cadmium chloride (1 mM) followed by sodium sulfide (9 mM) at 37°C for 96 h under shaking conditions (200 rpm), resulting in the formation of highly stable polydispersed cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdSNPs). Scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of spherical particles measuring approximately 5 nm. A light scattering detector (LSD) showed that 100% of the CSNPs measure from 2.7 to 7.5 nm. Structural analyses by both powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the presence of cubic CdS nanoparticles (CdSNPs) capped with fungal proteins. These CdSNPs showed emission spectra with a broad fluorescence peak at 420 nm and UV absorption onset at 430 nm that shifted to 445 nm after three months of incubation. The CdSNPs showed antimicrobial activity againstE. coli,Pseudomonas vulgaris,Staphylococcus aureus, andBacillus subtilis, and no antimicrobial activity was detected againstCandida albicans. The biosynthesized CdSNPs have cytotoxic activity, with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 190 μg mL-1against MCF7, 246 μg mL-1against PC3, and 149 μg mL-1against A549 cell lines.

Abstract
The emerging field of biofabrication capitalizes on nature's ability to create materials with a wide range of well-defined physical and electronic properties. Particularly, there is a current push to utilize programmed, self-organization of living cells for material fabrication. However, much research is still necessary at the interface of synthetic biology and materials engineering to make biofabrication a viable technique to develop functional devices. Here, the authors exploit the ability of Escherichia coli to contribute to material fabrication by designing and optimizing growth platforms to direct inorganic nanoparticle (NP) synthesis, specifically cadmium sulfide (CdS) NPs, onto porous polycarbonate membranes. Additionally, current, nonbiological, chemical synthesis methods for CdS NPs are typically energy intensive and use high concentrations of hazardous cadmium precursors. Using biosynthesis methods through microorganisms could potentially alleviate these issues by precipitating NPs with less energy and lower concentrations of toxic precursors. The authors adopted extracellular precipitation strategies to form CdS NPs on the membranes as bacterial/membrane composites and characterized them by spectroscopic and imaging methods, including energy dispersive spectroscopy, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. This method allowed us to control the localization of NP precipitation throughout the layered bacterial/membrane composite, by varying the timing of the cadmium precursor addition. Additionally, the authors demonstrated the photodegradation of methyl orange using the CdS functionalized porous membranes, thus confirming the photocatalytic properties of these composites for eventual translation to device development. If combined with the genetically programmed self-organization of cells, this approach promises to directly pattern CdS nanostructures on solid supports.

Abstract
Nature produces biominerals (biogenic minerals) that are synthesized as complex structures, in terms of their physicochemical properties. These biominerals are composed of minerals and biological macromolecules. They are produced by living organisms and are usually formed through a combination of chemical, biochemical and biophysical processes. Microorganisms like Candida in the presence of heavy metals can biomineralize those metals to form microcrystals (MCs) and nanocrystals (NCs). In this work, MCs and NCs of PbS, HgS or HgCl2 as well as CdS are synthesized both in vitro (gels) and in vivo by four Candida species. Our in vivo results show that, in the presence of Pb2+, Candida cells are able to replicate and form extracellular PbS MCs, whereas in the presence of Hg2+ and Cd2+, they did synthesize intercellular MCs from HgS or HgCl2 and CdS NCs respectively. The MCs and NCs biologically obtained in Candida were compared with those PbS, HgS and CdS crystals synthetically obtained in vitro through the gel method (grown either in agarose or in sodium metasilicate hydrogels). This is, to our knowledge, the first time that the biosynthesis of the various MCs and NCs (presented in several species of Candida) has been reported. This biosynthesis is differentially regulated in each of these pathogens, which allows them to adapt and survive in different physiological and environmental habitats.

Abstract
Despite the wide application of quantum dots (QDs) in electronics, pharmacy and nanomedicine, limited data is available on their environmental health risk. To advance our current understanding of the environmental impact of these engineered nanomaterials, the aim of this review is to give a detailed insight on the existing information concerning the behaviour, transformation and fate of QDs in the aquatic environment, as well as on its mode of action (MoA), ecotoxicity, trophic transfer and biomagnification at various trophic levels (micro-organisms, aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates). Data show that several types of Cd-based QDs, even at low concentrations (<mgCdL-1), induce different toxic effects compared to their dissolved counterpart, indicating nano-specific ecotoxicity. QD ecotoxicity at different trophic levels is highly dependent on its physico-chemical properties, environmental conditions, concentration and exposure time, as well as, species, while UV irradiation increases its toxicity. The state of the art regarding the MoA of QDs according to taxonomic groups is summarised and illustrated. Accumulation and trophic transfer of QDs was observed in freshwater and seawater species, while limited biomagnification and detoxification processes were detected. Finally, current knowledge gaps are discussed and recommendations for future research identified. Overall, the knowledge available indicates that in order to develop sustainable nanotechnologies there is an urgent need to develop Cd-free QDs and new "core-shell-conjugate" QD structures.

Abstract
Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized intracellularly by a Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain when challenged with 1 mM cadmium in solution. The nanoparticles, a known semiconducting material, exhibited an absorbance maximum at 305 nm. X-ray scattering data showed that the nanoparticles had a Wurtzite (Cd(16)S(20))-type hexagonal lattice structure and most of the nanoparicles were in the size range of 1-1.5 nm. The nanoparticles were used in the fabrication of a heterojunction with poly (p-phenylenevinylene). The diode exhibited approximately 75 mA/cm(2) current at 10 V when forward biased and the breakdown occurred at approximately 15 V in the reverse biased mode. These characteristics are considered ideal for a diode.

Abstract
GSH-capped CdS nanocrystallites were synthesized by reacting Cd(II)-GSH with aqueous sodium sulfide using specific initial sulfide/Cd(II) ratios. Spectroscopic analyses of fractions obtained from a size exclusion column showed varying absorption spectra indicating a significant dispersion in size-distribution of nanocrystallites at lower sulfide/Cd(II) ratios. However, size distribution of the nanocrystallites was narrower at initial sulfide/Cd(II) ratios that exceeded 1.0. An ethanol precipitation procedure was used to remove free Cd(II)-GSH complexes and selectively isolate GSH-capped nanocrystallites in a very narrow size range. Size exclusion chromatography indicated similar chemical compositions and overlapping spectral profiles of ethanol-precipitated samples suggesting apparent uniformity in both the size and the cap content. All of the GSH-capped CdS nanocrystallites with varying cap contents degraded p-nitrophenol upon irradiation at 366 nm. However, photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol was significantly higher in samples with higher sulfide/Cd ratio and less capping material. The addition of H2O2 enhanced levels of photo-oxidation of p-nitrophenol.

Abstract
Cadmium sulphate was added to separate batch cultures of Schizosaccharomyces pombe during different growth phases to determine the effect on cadmium sulphide microcrystallite production. Exit gas analysis was used to determine the impact on metabolism. Addition during the early-exponential growth phase resulted in an immediate intracellular uptake of cadmium, followed by rapid efflux from the cells, permanent reduction in cell metabolism and a lower intracellular inorganic sulphide content. This response was not suitable for cadmium sulphide microcrystallite production. Stationary phase cultures did not induce cadmium sulphide microcrystallite production. However, the addition of cadmium sulphate to a culture during the mid-exponential growth phase increased the intracellular cadmium and inorganic sulphide concentrations for approximately 8 h before reaching a saturation level for the cell. This resulted in a significant level of cadmium sulphide microcrystallite production.
