Fungal strain impacts the shape, bioactivity and multifunctional properties of green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles
Abstract
Abstract This work aimed to investigate the influence of fungal strains onto shape, functional properties, and potential applications of biosynthesized nanoparticles (NPs). The aqueous extract of two newly isolated fungal strains, Fusarium keratoplasticum strain (A1-3) and Aspergillus niger strain (G3-1), were used for synthesis of ZnO-NPs. Nanoparticles formation was confirmed by visual observation of color change and UV–visible spectroscopy. The morphological and structural properties of NPs were analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and zeta potential analyses. Different ZnO-NPs shapes were obtained; where, F. keratoplasticum strain (A1-3) synthesized hexagonal NPs and A. niger strain (G3-1) synthesized nano-rod shape NPs. The antibacterial activities against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as in vitro cytotoxicity against three different animal cell lines exhibited that biocidal activity of NPs is a shape-dependent. Furthermore, nanoparticle shapes greatly affected the multifunctional properties of textile fabrics coated with ZnO-NPs. Nano-rod NPs showed enhanced antibacterial properties against pathogenic bacteria and UV-protection index compared to the hexagonal ZnO-NPs. Therefore, this work provides a gateway to explore shape-dependent properties of biologically synthesized NPs and their potentiality to be utilized for specific applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
