Nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized from fungi have a significant biocatalytic application, where they were utilized in enzyme immobilization to enriched enzymatic activity. Silver (Ag) NPs produced from fungi was found to have a benign activity in a wound and thermal wound, and function as anti-mosquito and antiviruses. AgNPs were synthesized using cotton fabrics, which displayed an inhibition activity to the development of some bacteria. These silver nanoparticles were prepared through fungi and linked with the main combination and DNA sample of fungi.
