“…The concentrations of K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu were quantified by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, United States). Also, the estimation of the phosphorus concentration of the samples was determined by the vanadomolybdophosphoric acid colorimetric method [27] and using a spectrophotometer (ShimadzoUV2401 PC).…”

This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that supplementary blue light, feeding with selenium and iodine can improve the biochemical quality, macro- and micro-elements in the edible parts of fenugreek and, with the accumulation of selenium and iodine in plant tissue, the production of a biofortified crop. For this purpose, the effect of selenium (0, 2, and 4 mg L−1), iodine (0, 2, and 4 mg L−1), and supplementary blue light (no-blue light and blue light treatment) was tested in the form of a three-way factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design. The results showed that supplementary light treatment and feeding with iodine (2 mg L−1) increased the content of phenol, total protein, and vitamin C. The interaction of iodine (4 mg L−1) and blue lighting increased the content of iron and vitamin C. Irrespective of lighting conditions, iodine improved the iodine content. The combination of blue light and 4 mg L−1 selenium increased the nitrogen, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium compared to other treatments. The best conditions for the accumulation of selenium were a combination of blue light and 4 mg L−1 of selenium. Increasing the concentration of feeding with iodine and selenium was beneficial for the accumulation of flavonoids, carbohydrates, protein, and vitamin C. Although the triple effects of feeding with selenium and iodine under blue supplementary light affected some traits, it is difficult to elicit obvious results from them. In general, the application of iodine and selenium (4 mg L−1) under blue light is recommended to achieve the study objectives.

Diversity of Biogenic Nanoparticles Obtained by the Fungi-Mediated Synthesis: A Review

Fungi are very promising biological objects for the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles using different mycological cultures and substances obtained from them is a promising, easy and environmentally friendly method. By varying the synthesis conditions, the same culture can be used to produce nanoparticles with different sizes, shapes, stability in colloids and, therefore, different biological activity. Fungi are capable of producing a wide range of biologically active compounds and have a powerful enzymatic system that allows them to form nanoparticles of various chemical elements. This review attempts to summarize and provide a comparative analysis of the currently accumulated data, including, among others, our research group’s works, on the variety of the characteristics of the nanoparticles produced by various fungal species, their mycelium, fruiting bodies, extracts and purified fungal metabolites.

“…Most studies used just a few easily cultivable genera of fungi, i.e., Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Trichoderma, and Verticillium [45][46][47][48][49]. Ascomycetes have produced many types of metal-containing NPs, including pure metal NPs of Ag, Au, and Fe [35,50,51] as well as metal oxide and sulfide NPs of Ag 2 S, Co 3 O 4 , CuO, Fe x O y , MnS, NiO, NiS, PbS, ZnO, and ZnS [35,[52][53][54] (Table 2). 2.1.1.…”

Fungi contain species with a plethora of ways of adapting to life in nature. Consequently, they produce large amounts of diverse biomolecules that can be generated on a large scale and in an affordable manner. This makes fungi an attractive alternative for many biotechnological processes. Ascomycetes and basidiomycetes are the most commonly used fungi for synthesis of metal-containing nanoparticles (NPs). The advantages of NPs created by fungi include the use of non-toxic fungus-produced biochemicals, energy efficiency, ambient temperature, pressure conditions, and the ability to control and tune the crystallinity, shape, and size of the NPs. Furthermore, the presence of biomolecules might serve a dual function as agents in NP formation and also capping that can tailor the (bio)activity of subsequent NPs. This review summarizes and reviews the synthesis of different metal, metal oxide, metal sulfide, and other metal-based NPs mediated by reactive media derived from various species. The phyla ascomycetes and basidiomycetes are presented separately. Moreover, the practical application of NP mycosynthesis, particularly in the fields of biomedicine, catalysis, biosensing, mosquito control, and precision agriculture as nanofertilizers and nanopesticides, has been studied so far. Finally, an outlook is provided, and future recommendations are proposed with an emphasis on the areas where mycosynthesized NPs have greater potential than NPs synthesized using physicochemical approaches. A deeper investigation of the mechanisms of NP formation in fungi-based media is needed, as is a focus on the transfer of NP mycosynthesis from the laboratory to large-scale production and application.
