“…Biological routes have proven efficient in the production of various sulfide-based nanomaterials, such as ZnS, CdS and PbS [ 97 ]. Through these eco-friendly routes, several microorganisms and extracts have been screened for their ability to promote the production of CdS NPs, such as bacteria [ 98 ], marine bacteria [ 99 ], photosynthetic bacteria [ 100 ], fungi [ 101 , 102 ], plant extracts [ 103 , 104 , 105 ], algae [ 106 , 107 ], pigments [ 108 ], and proteins [ 109 ], starting from the corresponding precursors of cadmium and sulfur. The as-produced CdS NPs can be exploited in photocatalytic applications [ 107 ] or valued for their biocidal properties [ 99 ].…”

Several methodologies have been devised for the design of nanomaterials. The “Holy Grail” for materials scientists is the cost-effective, eco-friendly synthesis of nanomaterials with controlled sizes, shapes and compositions, as these features confer to the as-produced nanocrystals unique properties making them appropriate candidates for valuable bio-applications. The present review summarizes published data regarding the production of nanomaterials with special features via sustainable methodologies based on the utilization of natural bioresources. The richness of the latter, the diversity of the routes adopted and the tuned experimental parameters have led to the fabrication of nanomaterials belonging to different chemical families with appropriate compositions and displaying interesting sizes and shapes. It is expected that these outstanding findings will encourage researchers and attract newcomers to continue and extend the exploration of possibilities offered by nature and the design of innovative and safer methodologies towards the synthesis of unique nanomaterials, possessing desired features and exhibiting valuable properties that can be exploited in a profusion of fields.

“…The proteins caused a long-lasting stability of CdS NPs, because they attached to the NPs surfaces and prevented their accumulation [17]. Reyes et al [20] also produced CdS NPs using Fusarium sp. taken from an ecosystem containing Cd (II).…”

Abstract. Selenium nanoparticles have received major consideration for their antimicrobial and anticancer properties. In the present study, a mycelia fungus named Fusarium oxysporum was employed as a cell factory for bio-production of selenium and selenium sul de nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs displayed that the NPs were encompassed in medium and cells debris along with the presence of sulfur and selenium in the particles according to the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy ndings. The size of spherical NPs was measured between 34.32 and 231.98 nm in SEM micrographs and 81.9 nm in DLS analysis. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra supported selenium compounds production and showed that proteins were associated with the particles. The presence of primary and secondary amine bands was demonstrated by the peaks at 1090-1020 and 1650-1580 cm 1 , and at 1580-1490 cm 1 in FTIR spectra. UV/VIS spectrophotometry analysis showed that maximum absorbance for the test was at 217 nm. The strongest Bragg's re ection in the X-ray di ractograms peaks revealed the closest match with SeS, SeS 2 , and Se according to standard JCPDS cards. Taken together, our results show that, Fusarium oxysporum is able to produce selenium-based nanoparticles in a safe and cost e ective aerobic green approach.

“…When fungi are exposed to a metal ion environment, they produce compounds or biomolecules such as naphthoquinones, anthraquinones, or nitrate reductase as reducing factors to create metal particles [ 144 , 145 , 158 , 159 ]. Fungi such as Fusarium semitectum, Neurospora crassa, Fusarium oxysporum, Pleurotus ostreatus, Coriolus versicolor and yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces pombe , and Candida glabrata have been used to manufacture Au-Ag and Cd-S alloy nanoparticles [ 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 , 169 , 170 ].…”

Metallic alloy nanoparticles are synthesized by combining two or more different metals. Bimetallic or trimetallic nanoparticles are considered more effective than monometallic nanoparticles because of their synergistic characteristics. In this review, we outline the structure, synthesis method, properties, and biological applications of metallic alloy nanoparticles based on their plasmonic, catalytic, and magnetic characteristics.
