Background The overuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microbes which causes high mortality worldwide. Therefore, the synthesis of new active compounds has multifunctional activities are the main challenge. Nanotechnology provides a solution for this issue. Method The endophytic fungal strain Aspergillus terreus BR.1...

Herein, four endophytic fungal strains living in healthy roots of garlic were used to produce selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) via green synthesis. Penicillium verhagenii was found to be the most efficient Se-NPs producer with a ruby red color that showed maximum surface plasmon resonance at 270 nm. The as-formed Se-NPs were crystalline, spherical,...

... Endophytic fungal strains residing within medicinal plants produce NPs of different sizes, stability, and shapes enhancing their biomedical applications. This is attributed to their ease of handling, ability to produce a large amount of biomass, high metal binding strength, tolerance to metals, and secretion of metabolites [15]. Furthermore, what sets our study apart is the utilization of a fungal consortium for NPs synthesis, which enhances the efficiency and scalability of production while minimizing environmental impact. ...
... Finally, the MTT medium was aspirated and replaced with 10% DMSO (200 μl/well) to dissolve the formed formazan crystals. The impact of different treatments on cell viability was evaluated by measuring O.D. at 570 nm using an ELISA microplate reader, and cell viability was determined by the equation 42 : ...
