In the present study, wastewater treatment efficacy of silver nanoparticles synthesized from biomass of fungal consortium coated with chitosan was carried out. Nanoparticles were synthesized from dried biomass of fungal consortium stabilized with biocompatible polymer chitosan being characterized by various analytical techniques reveals high stable monodispersive spherical nanoparticles with the size range of 80–90 nm. Batch wastewater treatment studies under in vitro condition show polymer-stabilized nanoparticles brought about maximum reduction in various physicochemical parameters, and the reduction rate was high in increased incubation time. Chitosan-coated nanoparticles also reveal maximum inhibition of biofilm formation and viable count of pathogenic bacterial count. The present study would suggest the possible utilization of chitosan-stabilized silver nanoparticles in wastewater eco-friendly treatment process for the effective removal of various toxic contaminants. Synthesized silver nanoparticles by the fungal consortium.
