Green synthesis of nanoparticles with extracellular and intracellular extracts of basidiomycetes.

ABSTRACT: Au, Ag, Se, and Si nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous solutions of HAuCl₄, AgNO₃, Na₂SeO₃, and Na₂SiO₃ with extra- and intracellular extracts from the xylotrophic basidiomycetes Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma lucidum, and Grifola frondosa. The shape, size, and aggregation properties of the nanoparticles depended both on the fungal species and on the extract type. The bioreduction of the metal-containing compounds and the formation rate of Au and Ag nanoparticles depended directly on the phenol oxidase activity of the fungal extracts used. The biofabrication of Se and Si nanoparticles did not depend on phenol oxidase activity. When we used mycelial extracts from different
