Abstract There is an increasing interest in developing nanoparticles with diverse
biologic activities. To this end, we prepared 10 to 15 nm silver nanoparticles
(AgNP) from native isolates of Trichoderma atroviride. Within this study, endophytic fungi hosted four medicinal plants in Saint Katherine Protectorate, South Sinai,
Egypt have been isolated by surface sterilization technique on four isolation media.
Ten species, based on their frequency of occurrence, out of twenty recovered taxa
were tested for their capability to synthesize extracellular AgNPs. Trichoderma
atroviride hosted Chiliadenus montanus was found to be the best candidate for
the production of mycogenic AgNPs among… More >
