The present invention refers to the use of dead biomass of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa to perform bioremediation of wastewater and for industrial scale production of copper nanoparticles. In the present invention, it is developed a synthetic strategy for the biosynthesis and removal of copper nanoparticles which is fast, low cost, environment friendly and easily scalable, using as a reduction agent the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa.
