Pests Control and Nanotechnology - Mohamed Abdel-Raheem - Bog

Nanomaterials today offer a wide range of promising platform classes and applications mainly in food sector and hygiene, which offer prolonged antimicrobial activity with hopeful negligible toxicity, compared to their counterparts of common known antimicrobial agents that display short-term activity and environmental toxicity. The outcomes of this investigation recommend that nano-based products with vital properties and acceptable/minimum risks for the users, if launched first into the market can drive the reception of other applications introduced later on. Fungi are a diverse kingdom of organisms that produce a variety of economically valuable byproducts, such as enzymes, antioxidants, antibiotics, anti-cancer agents, etc. Therefore, the conservation of these economically important fungal isolates must cover a broad range of research to give the mycologists a flexible concept and attract more public attention to the potential applications of the fungal natural products in the near future.
