What is Microbial Enzymes in the Biosynthesis of Metal Nanoparticles about?

Metal-based nanoparticles (MtNPs) are at the cutting edge of green nanotechnology and have gained tremendous attention across the globe due to their unique electronic as well as optical properties and their potential applications in different areas. In the past few years, besides chemical and physical methods, biological means to synthesize MtNPs have been largely preferred as microbial enzyme-mediated MtNPs are benign and cost-effective. This chapter focusses on discussing various microbial means including bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, yeasts, and algae, which are utilized to synthesize MtNPs, and the detailed antimicrobial mechanism of the key microbial enzyme-mediated synthesis of metal nanoparticles. This chapter also elaborates on the wide range of MtNP applications and the recent advancements and challenges faced in microbial enzyme-mediated nanoparticle synthesis.
