Biogenically synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles were evaluated for antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani causing sheath blight of rice. Both the nanoparticles were tested at 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 ppm along with chemical check against the pathogen. Silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) at 200 ppm showed the highest inhibition (73.39%) in the radial growth of R. solani, while gold nanoparticle (Au NP) at the same concentration inhibited the growth of the pathogen up to 60.83%.

Abstract:
Rapidly developing field of nanobiotechnology dealing with metallic nanoparticle (MNP) synthesis is primarily lacking control over size, shape, dispersity, yield, and reaction time. Present work describes an ecofriendly method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by cell free extract (CFE) ofSaccharomyces boulardii. Parameters such as culture age (stationary phase growth), cell mass concentration (400 mg/mL), temperature (35°C), and reaction time (4 h), have been optimized to exercise a control over the yield of nanoparticles and their properties.

Cancer is a non-communicable disease that causes morbidity and mortality in all regions of the world. Cancer treatment is important in reducing the high number of deaths (mortality) due to cancer sufferers. One of the cancer treatments is using chemotherapy drug cisplatin.
