Myconanotechnology and Application of Nanoparticles in Biology: Fundamental Concepts, Mechanism and Industrial Applications

Myconanotechnology and Application of Nanoparticles in Biology: Fundamental Concepts, Mechanism and Industrial Applications focuses on the emergence of myconanotechnology as a new science for the synthesis of nanoparticles by using fungi and considers the potential future applications and challenges in this area. There are several challenges that need to be undertaken before the potential of myconanotechnology can be fully evaluated, these include determining the detailed chemical processes involved in the formation of the particles and optimizing these to provide enough consistent product that can be easily extracted or separated. Myconanotechnology and Application of Nanoparticles in Biology demonstrates why mycology should be regarded as a megascience: a subject requiring international collaboration to overcome barriers that need to be confronted in the interests of global security and human well-being. This reference provides a good source of knowledge and guidelines for advanced graduate students and is of significant interest to scientists working on the basic issues surrounding applications of myconanotechnology Gives comprehensive coverage on myconanotechnology including chapters with case studies and protocols Focuses on the emergence of myconanotechnology as a new science for the synthesis of nanoparticles by using fungi Carries out an in-depth and step-by-step description of knowledge on myco-nanotechnology, current research trends, opportunities and their involvement in modern society
