Action of Fe2O3 and Fe2ZnO4 nanoparticles on strains of actinobacteria and filamentous fungi

Abstract

Nanoparticles can exert both beneficial and adverse effects on microorganisms, including DNA modification, accelerated aging, and cell death. They may also act as biostimulants, enhancing the biosynthetic properties of microorganisms of industrial, medical, and agricultural importance. Therefore, studying the effects of nanoparticles on the biosynthesis of biologically active substances is both relevant and necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Fe2O3 and Fe2ZnO4 nanoparticles on the biosynthesis of biologically active substances in strains of actinobacteria and filamentous fungi.
