Microbial Synthesis of Nanomaterials

The present book Microbial Synthesis of Nanomaterials is written mainly for the public’s acquaintance with the synthesis and characterization of different nanomaterials (NMs) and their sustainable applications in various fields. The nano-era began in the late 1990s, after which the production of NMs increased rapidly and is expected to reach 1.663 million tons by the end of 2021. Recent findings have shown that NMs play a vital role in various fields like agriculture, food industries, environment, medicine and pharmaceutical, electronics, etc.

Microorganisms play a key role in the formation and transformation of nanoscale minerals in the environment. These natural processes can be harnessed for the green synthesis of nanomaterials for a diverse array of commercial, industrial, and environmental applications, presenting a sustainable alternative to more traditional physiochemical synthesis routes. This new book consists of 15 chapters that provide comprehensive knowledge about the synthesis of NMs and offer a critical overview of the current understanding of nanoparticle synthesis using microbes, covering NMs’ synthesis, characterization, and applications, and providing discussion on prospects.
