    Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have many applications in different fields such as electronic industries, chemical industries, medical diagnostics and detergent products. In this research AgNPs were produced by Phomopsis sp. GFPA2 isolated from zinc mineral rocks, and were successfully synthesized by using fungal culture broth. The biogenic crystals were investigated and identified by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The spectra confirmed that the biogenic crystals were AgNPs, and they are mostly spherical in shape. The crystals were also tested for their antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli ATCC 27853, Pseudomonas aerogenosa ATCC 27853, Bacillus cereus ATCC 6633 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25623. The result showed that the biogenic AgNPs can inhibit the growth of both Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, these biogenic AgNPs could be used to treat the infection caused by human pathogenic bacteria.

    Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an insoluble form, which often means less bioavailable to the organisms. Seven fungal isolates were isolated from zinc sulfide mineral ores (sphalerite) and obtained from Padaeng Industry in Tak province, Thailand. They were examined for the ability to solubilize and precipitate zinc oxide nanoparticles. Fungal isolates were grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium supplemented with 0.5% (w/v) zinc oxide nanoparticles. Among tested fungal strains, Aspergillus Niger showed the highest efficiency for solubilizing zinc oxide nanoparticles. Biomineral crystals were observed in zinc oxide nanoparticles-containing agar medium underneath colonies of Aspergillus Niger. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) studies revealed that the biomineral crystals are zinc oxalate hydrate (C<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>Zn•2H<inf>2</inf>O). It would be suggested that this fungal strain has potential biotechnological application in agricultural practice and heavy metal bioremediation.
