Biosynthesis of CaO nanoparticles using Trigona sp. Honey: Physicochemical characterization, antifungal activity, and cytotoxicity properties

In this study, calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles (Nps) were obtained by biosynthesis through the deposition and precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in Trigona sp. honey. The FESEM images showed a spherical morphology with an average Nps size below 100 nm, whereas the AFM images demonstrated i...
