Green Nano complex as a promising tool for purification of water stations from protozoa and fungi in Sakaka Al-Jouf area
Abstract
Due to water-borne pathogenic microorganisms, inadequately treated drinking water is the main cause
of preventable sickness and death globally. The presence of fungal strains in potable water has gotten a
lot of attention in recent years. Pathogenic microorganisms, including mycotoxigenic fungus, have been
discovered in treated drinking water. The goal of this project is to isolate and identify fungus species and
protozoa from the water station. In addition, the novel nanoparticles were tested for their ability to kill
dangerous microorganisms in water. Four water treatment stations provided forty samples of water. All
samples yielded fungal colonies, which were isolated. Candida spp. was the most frequent genus (90%),
while Fusarium incarnatum was the second most common species (70%). Aspergillus spp. were found
in 62% of the water samples, whereas Penicillium marneffei was found in only 12%.
