Myconanotechnology Volume 1

This book explores how fungi can be used to create nanoparticles in a safe, eco-friendly, and cost-effective way. It introduces fungal nanotechnology as a promising approach in nanobiotechnology, especially for agriculture, healthcare, and environmental applications. The book explains how fungi help in shaping and controlling nanostructures and why this method is gaining attention among scientists. The chapters cover a wide range of topics. They begin with the history and future of fungal nanotechnology and its role in agriculture and food industries. Several chapters focus on how fungi can be used to manage pests and plant diseases through nanopesticides and antifungal agents. Others discuss the use of fungi in developing nano-packaging, detecting mycotoxins, and improving crop health. The book also highlights the role of fungi like Trichoderma in sustainable farming and explores the physiological and biochemical processes behind nanoparticle formation. This book, part of the 'Fungal Biology' book series, is a useful resource for students, researchers, and professionals in nanotechnology, agriculture, biotechnology, pharmacology, and environmental science. It includes clear illustrations, tables, and case studies to help readers understand the concepts easily. By combining fungal biology with nanoscience, the book offers practical insights into how fungi can be used to develop new materials for medicine, farming, and industry.
