Biosynthesis, Characterization, and Antifungal Activity of Novel Trimetallic Copper Oxide-Selenium-Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles against Some Mucorales Fungi.

ABSTRACT: Metal nanoparticles are assumed to be a new generation of biologically active materials. The integrations between more than one metal are synergetic multifunctional features. In the current study, trimetallic copper-selenium-zinc oxide nanoparticles (Tri-CSZ NPs) were successfully mycosynthesized using Aspergillus niger through an ecofriendly method for the first time. The biosynthesis of the particles was characterized using physiochemical and topographical analysis. The physiochemical analysis included Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which affirmed that the biosynthesis of Tri-CSZ NPs relies on the functional groups of fungal filtrates. Additionally, the UV-visible and X-ray diffraction patterns were proposed for the formation of Tri-CSZ NPs; moreover, topography a
