Extracellular mycosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using Trichoderma hamatum: optimization, characterization and antimicrobial activity.

Mycosynthesis of AuNPs by Trichoderma hamatum would provide some useful data for oriented biosynthesis of AuNPs. In addition, the applications of mycosynthesized AuNPs were studied against some pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, the gained results detect that these antimicrobial nanoparticles could be explored as hopeful candidates for a variety of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This study should provide a further prudence for the fungal-mediated synthesis of AuNPs.
