Fungal nanotechnology for improving farm productivity and sustainability: A note from the editor

Because fungal nanotechnology (FN) (myconanotechnology) is still in its infancy, major research should be conducted in this field; plants, animals, and people will benefit immensely, and efficient and eco-friendly ways should be developed. Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungus are biological agents with considerable promise for nanoparticle (NP) production. Fungal secondary metabolites such as protein polyketides, terpenoids, enzymes, tannins, carboxylic acids, quinones, and other secondary metabolites can be employed on a massive scale to produce NPs. This book contains in-depth information on the environmentally friendly and long-term creation of metal and organic nanostructures by fungi. Applications of FN in the environmental and agri-food industries will also be investigated.
