ABSTRACT CdS nanoparticles have attracted attention due to its optical and electrical properties. Conventional methods provide some problems, such as particle size, high-pressure requirements, and the use of toxic materials, for its synthesis. It is well known that many microorganisms can provide inorganic materials either intra- as extracellularly. In this work, the authors present the results of the CdS nanoparticles synthesis using Fusarium sp. biomass as a sustainable synthesis procedure, after its exposition with a CdSO4 solution. Nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible, x-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy.
