TL;DR: The current state of the art and perspectives for the impact of AgNPs on different organisms present in the environment are reported and recent progress in interpreting uptake, translocation and accumulation mechanisms in different organisms and/or living animals are discussed, as well as the toxicity ofAgNPs and possible tolerance mechanisms in live organisms to cope with their deleterious effects.

TL;DR: The white-rot fungus Stereum hirsutum was studied to evaluate its applicability for use in the biosynthesis of copper/copper oxide nanoparticles under different pHconditions and in the presence of three different copper salts (CuCl2, CuSO4, and Cu(NO3)2) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The synthesis of copper nanostructured nanoparticles by bacteria, fungi, and plant extracts is discussed, showing that biogenic synthesis is an economically feasible, simple and non-polluting process.

TL;DR: A critical review of the actual state of fungal activities on environmental pollutants, fungal diversity, the use of fungi in the degradation of chemical pollutants, enzyme degrading systems and perspectives on the useof fungi in bioremediation and unexplored research is presented.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that G. officinalis extract is a feasible medium for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles and that the control of the reaction parameters can determine the nanoparticle characteristics and therefore their antimicrobial effectiveness.
