Microbial synthesis of nanomaterials: Future prospects and challenges
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2021) Umesh Pravin Dhuldhaj; Namrata Malik; Shubhangi D. Shirsat
Demand and nano-fabrications of nanomaterials in the modern world are enormously increasing because of their versatile applications in several fields from sensoristics to medicine. Production of nanoparticles has been done by various methods viz., Physical, Chemical, and Biological. Among these three methods, the biological approach, i.e., green syntheses of nanoparticles, is well adopted because of its many positive aspects. Green synthesis of nanoparticles with the help of bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses, and actinomycetes is an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach. The productions can fulfill the demands of nanoparticles through physical and chemical methods. The technique involved in producing and modifying materials that are in less than micron is termed nanotechnology. The principal purpose of nanomaterials in several medical applications, i.e., biological tagging and pharmaceuticals, is that their size is inversely proportional to the surface to volume ratio. The nanomaterials such as metal and metal oxides nanoparticles in the modern era are produced and commercialized rapidly for cosmetics, medicines, and industrial use. The green synthesis of nanomaterials productions isgetting more attention because of its positive benefits concerning other production methods. The nanoparticles synthesized by chemical and physical processes are having issues with toxicity. With the modernization of science and the medical field, pathogenic bacteria are also adapted to several drugs, and antibiotics can mitigate bacterial antibiotic resistance with the conjugations of antibiotics with nanoparticles. © 2021 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
