Silver nanoparticles: mechanism of antimicrobial action, synthesis, medical applications, and toxicity effects (2012, background): “The mechanism of silver nanoparticle production by fungi is said to follow the following steps: trapping of Ag ions at the surface of the fungal cells and the subsequent reduction of the silver ions by the enzymes present in the fungal system [41].”
