White rot fungi (WRF) are important environmental microorganisms that have been widely applied in many fields. To our knowledge, the application performance of WRF in bioremediation can be greatly improved by the combination with nanotechnology. And the preparation of metallic nanoparticles using WRF is an emerging biosynthesis approach. Understanding the interrelation of WRF and nanoparticles is important to further expand their applications. Thus, this mini-review summarizes the currently related reports mainly from the two different point of views. We highlight that nanoparticles as supports or synergistic agents can enhance the stability and bioremediation performance of WRF in wastewater treatment and the biosynthesis process and conditions of several important metallic nanoparticles by WRF. Furthermore, the potential toxicity of nanoparticles on WRF and challenges encountered are also discussed. Herein, we deem that this mini-review will strengthen the basic knowledge and provide valuable insight for the applications of WRF and nanoparticles.
白色腐朽真菌（WRF）是一种重要的环境微生物，已广泛应用于许多领域。据我们所知，WRF 与纳米技术相结合可以极大地提高其在生物修复中的应用性能。利用 WRF 制备金属纳米粒子是一种新兴的生物合成方法。了解 WRF 和纳米粒子之间的相互关系对于进一步扩大它们的应用非常重要。因此，本综述主要从两个不同的角度总结了目前相关的报道。我们强调，纳米粒子作为载体或协同剂可以提高 WRF 在废水处理中的稳定性和生物修复性能，以及 WRF 生物合成几种重要金属纳米粒子的过程和条件。此外，还讨论了纳米粒子对 WRF 的潜在毒性和所遇到的挑战。在此，我们认为本综述将增强对 WRF 和纳米粒子应用的基础知识和提供有价值的见解。
