Neeran Obied Jasim

Abstract


The aim of this study was investigated the antifungal activity of ZnONPs on opportunistic fungi (A.fumigatus ,C.albicans)ZnONPs with size ?50nm and concentrations ofs (0,3,6 and 12mmll-1) were used .Radial growth and dry weight ,were used to estimate the inhibitory effects .Also ,production of two enzymes that specialized of yeast were also investigated .Results ,showed nano-ZnO exerted activity on the radial growth and dry weight in addition of production of two enzymes in yeast. Thus , this study indicates nano-ZnO have considerable antifungal activity.

Keywords: A.fumigatus, C.albicans,nano-ZnO, nanoparticles, antifungal
