A plant pathogenic fungus, Fusarium oxysporum, can be used as a biological model system for the extracellular bioleaching of hollow spherical silica nanoparticles (see Figure) from sand. The room-temperature synthesis of oxide nanomaterials using microorganisms starting from potential waste materials could lead to eco-friendly and economically viable methods for the large-scale synthesis of nanomaterials.
