The development of environmentally friendly technologies in the synthesis of materials is of considerable importance for expanding their biological applications. Nanomaterials find many applications due to their behavior at the nanoscale. Among all the methods, biosynthesis of nanomaterials is attracting much attention due to its simplicity, rapidity, no chemical use, non-toxicity and economical approach. Nowadays, many types of inorganic nanoparticles with well-defined chemical composition, size and morphology have been synthesized using different microorganisms and their application in many fields of advanced technology progress has been discovered. Applications of these biosynthesized nanoparticles are in many potential areas including targeted drug delivery, cancer therapy, gene therapy and DNA analysis, antimicrobial agents, biosensors, speed enhancement, separation science, and ..
