Nanoscience is one of the most important branches of modern science, which deals with the knowledge, structure, and properties of nanoparticles. This study aimed to investigate the ability of an airborne fungus ( Aspergillus flavus ) to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and to test the antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs.
