Comparative analysis of antifungal, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of mycosynthesized silver nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles

M. D. BalaKumaran et al.

Summary: This study compares the properties and activities of Aspergillus terreus mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The results show that AgNPs have good inhibitory effects on fungi and significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells, while AuNPs have no inhibitory effects on fungi and lower cytotoxicity against cancer cells. These findings have implications for potential biomedical and agricultural applications.
