Extracellular mycosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using Fusarium solani

Fusarium solani breast abscess.

An unusual manifestation of breast fusariosis was encountered in a 55-year-old female diabetic patient. Two fine needle aspirates (FNA) from the abscess were done at three days interval and they showed hyaline, septate, branched, fungal hyphae in 10% potassium hydroxide mount. Fungal infection was confirmed by demonstrating the fungal hyphae in the midst of lymphocytes, macrophages and neutroph...

Synthesis of extracellular stable gold nanoparticles

An animal model of Fusarium solani endophthalmitis.

Infection with Fusarium solani was established by injecting spores into the anterior chambers of outbred Wistar rats. The disease produced was remarkably similar to that reported in man and progressed to a fulminating endophthalmitis. Attenuation of the disease could be accomplished by repeated animal passage of the isolate.

Fusarium solani keratitis. First report from Malaysia.

An eight year old Indian girl was referred to the Eye Clinic of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for the management of a painful, red and discharging right eye. The patient and two of her brothers had almost simultaneously developed red eyes, for which they were prescribed combination steroidantibiotic drops by a general practitioner. Her brothers got well, but the patient's right eye worsened: t...

Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense JT1, a Plant Pathogenic Fungus

The development of reliable processes for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research. Recently, reports are published on the extracellular as well as intracellular biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using microorganisms. However, these methods of synthesis are rather slow. In present study, rapid and extracellular synthesis of gold nanoparticle...
