Recent developments in biosynthesis of noble metal nanoparticles and
application in nanobiotechnology
P
roduction of silver and gold nanoparticles by biosynthesis
have many advantages over chemical and physical
synthesis. Biogenic nanoparticles are cheaper, environmental
friendly, and biologically compatible as compared to
chemical and physical method. In this presentation different
biosynthesis methods of nanoparticles are discussed such
as using microbial cells, bacteria, yeasts and moulds under
different environmental conditions. Optimization, scale-
up, engineering and applications of nanoparticles such as
antimicrobilal agents, nanomedicine, diagnosis & therapy,
in addition to gene and drug delivery will also be discussed.
