Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is an evolving branch of nanotechnology. The use of fungi for the synthesis of NPs is referred to as mycosynthesis of metal NPs. Fungal endophytes have been recognized as important sources of a variety of structurally novel active secondary metabolites with anticancer, antimicrobial, and other biological activities. This mode of synthesis of metal nanoparticles is gaining more importance owing to its simplicity, rapid rate of synthesis of NP of attractive and diverse morphologies, and elimination of elaborate maintenance of cell cultures and eco-friendliness. Presently, the researchers are looking into the development of cost-effective procedures for producing reproducible, stable, and biocompatible metal NPs using fungal cultures. The present chapter is an exhaustive overview that assesses the role of fungi in the synthesis of nanoparticles, the mechanism involved in the synthesis, the effect of different factors on the reduction of metal ions in developing low-cost techniques for the synthesis, and recovery of nanoparticles. Finally, the application of nanoparticles in food processing industries, i.e., antimicrobial mechanisms, etc., has also been discussed.
