Emerging antibiotics resistance fungal infectionsis a major global health problem and new antifungal formulations are direly needed to fight drug resistant  Candida albicans strains.  This study is aimed to synthesize effective antifungal nanostructures of cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) using culture filtrates of two common fungal strains  Aspergillus terreus  and  Talaromyces pupureogenus.  The fungal strains used in the synthesis were identified by 18S rRNA gene sequencing and deposited to NCBI GenBank with the accession number of MN099077 and MN121629, respectively. The biofabricated CeO 2  NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Pure CeO 2  nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using  Aspergillus terreus  culture filtrate were depicted spherical morphology with average size of 28.5 nm. The CeO 2 NPs synthesized using  Talaromyces pupureogenus  revealed the presence of nanosponges with average size of 21.4 nm. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry of culture filtrates of respective strains indicated the presence of ethanol, 1-propanol and tri-chloromethane in culture filtrate of  Aspergillus terreus  and with addition of palmitic acid in  Talaromyces pupureogenus  culture filtrate which may have a function as bio reducers and capping agents. Dose dependent anticandidal activity of CeO 2  NPs using various different concentrations (100, 200, 300, 600  μ g ml −1 ) synthesized by both fungal strains was observed by disc diffusion assay against  Candida albicans as evidenced by increase in size of zone of inhibitions with increasing concentration of CeO 2 NPs. Further  in-vitro and in-vivo  experiments are required to access the potential of CeO 2  NPs for controlling  Candida albicans  strains.
