Advanced Fungal Control With Metallic Nanoparticles: A Comprehensive Review of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) for Particle Concentration Characterization

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 12, 26 March 2026.
Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as potent antifungal agents, yet their efficacy is rarely quantified on a particle basis. Here, we demonstrate how nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), together with a newly proposed Particle Efficiency Index (PEI), can relate nanoparticle concentration to fungal inoculum load, enabling more rigorous and comparable ...

Degradation of Dyes by Fungi: A Bibliometric Study and Bibliographic Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT The degradation of dyes from textile effluents is considered a major challenge due to their high potential for environmental contamination and health risks due to their toxicity. In this sense, the use of fungi for the degradation of these compounds is reported in the literature as an ecological alternative with great potential.
