Green synthesized silver nanoparticles mediated by Fusarium nygamai isolate AJTYC1: characterizations, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and photocatalytic activities and cytogenetic effects.

Scientists used a green method to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and found that they have various promising properties. AgNPs showed antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activity, as well as the ability to decolorize dyes. This method could contribute to disease treatment and reduce wastewater dye contamination.
