Prokaryotic Microbial Synthesis of Nanomaterials (The World of Unseen)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanobiotechnology: A Multidisciplinary Field of Science

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

Since the most important aspect of nanobiotechnology is to biologically synthesize environmentally-friendly, biocompatible, low-cost, green and non-hazardous nano-sized particles, prokaryotic microbial synthesis of nanomaterials has been one of the most studied biological synthesis approach. Bacteria and actinomycetes serve as prokaryotic microbial nano-bio-factories which boost a significant potential to synthesize nanoparticles without the need to harsh, toxic, and expensive chemicals as well as high pressure and temperature which are commonly employed in conventional chemical and physical processes. Nanomaterials can be biosynthesized either intracellularly or extracellularly. This chapter discusses in depth the recent investigations carried out by worldwide researchers in which different bacterial and actinomycetes strains are exploited as biological factories for nanoparticle production. The leading mechanisms behind the microbial synthesis of nanoparticles are provided in brief.
