Biological entities such as green plants, fungi, and lichens are now a days persistently explored for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Lichen-based nanoparticles are also becoming increasingly popular owing to their biocompatibility, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. The lichen-based metal nanomaterials, particularly synthesized using green chemistry approaches, have turned out to be great substitutes to conventional antimicrobial therapies. Many scientific reports established the significant antimicrobial properties exhibited by the lichen nanoparticles. Therefore, the present mini-review summarizes an overview of lichen-based nanomaterials, their synthesis, their applications, and the molecular mechanism of their potential as broad spectrum antimicrobial agents for biomedical applications.
如今，人们不断探索绿色植物、真菌和地衣等生物实体用于合成纳米颗粒。基于地衣的纳米颗粒因其生物相容性、生态友好性和成本效益也越来越受欢迎。基于地衣的金属纳米材料，特别是采用绿色化学方法合成的，已成为传统抗菌疗法的理想替代品。许多科学报告证实了地衣纳米颗粒具有显著的抗菌特性。因此，本综述总结了基于地衣的纳米材料的概述、它们的合成、应用以及它们作为生物医学应用广谱抗菌剂潜力的分子机制。
