The nanomaterial industry generates gigantic quantities of metal-based nanomaterials for various technological and biomedical applications; however, concomitantly, it places a massive burden on the environment by utilizing toxic chemicals for the production process and leaving hazardous waste materials behind. Moreover, the employed, often unpleasant chemicals can affect the biocompatibility of the generated particles and severely restrict their application possibilities. On these grounds, green synthetic approaches have emerged, offering eco-friendly, sustainable, nature-derived alternative production methods, thus attenuating the ecological footprint of the nanomaterial industry. In the last decade, a plethora of biological materials has been tested to probe their suitability for nanomaterial synthesis. Although most of these approaches were successful, a large body of evidence indicates that the green material or entity used for the production would substantially define the physical and chemical properties and as a consequence, the biological activities of the obtained nanomaterials. The present review provides a comprehensive collection of the most recent green methodologies, surveys the major nanoparticle characterization techniques and screens the effects triggered by the obtained nanomaterials in various living systems to give an impression on the biomedical potential of green synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles.

Metal nanoparticles possess an extensive scientific and technological significance due to their unique physiochemical properties and their potential applications in different fields like medicine. Silver and gold nanoparticles have shown to have antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. Conventional methods used in the synthesis of the metal nanoparticles involve use of toxic chemicals making them unsuitable for use in medical field. In our continued effort to explore for simple and eco-friendly methods to synthesize the metal nanoparticles, we here describe synthesis and characterization of gold and silver nanoparticles using Gonaderma lucidum, wild non-edible medicinal mushroom. G. lucidum mushroom contain bioactive compounds which can be involved in the reduction, capping and stabilization of the nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity analysis was done on E. coli and S. aureus. The synthesis was done on ultrasonic bath. Characterization of the metal nanoparticles was done by UV-VIS., High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM) and FTIR. HRTEM analysis showed that both silver and gold nanoparticles were spherical in shape with an average size of 15.82±3.69 nm for silver and 24.73±5.124nm for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). FTIR analysis showed OH and -C=C- stretching vibrations, an indication of presence of functional groups of biomolecules capping both gold and silver nanoparticles. AgNPs showed inhibition zones of 15.5±0.09mm and 13.3±0.14mm while AuNPs had inhibition zones of 14.510±0.35 and 13.3±0.50mm on E. coli and S. aureus respectively. The findings indicate the potential use of AgNPs and AuNPs in development of drugs in management of pathogenic bacteria.
