Abstract

Nano-science is a new scientific program that demands materials and apparatus capable of manipulating chemical and physical properties of a substance at molecular scale. Now there is a processing need to develop credible, probable, and eco-friendly schedule for manufacturing a broad framework of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. The biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles via nano-biotechnology based techniques has the effort to recognize immaculate manufacturing technologies. These new pure technologies can safely minimize circumferential pollution and dwindling the riskiness to humanitarian health brings from the use of poisonous chemicals and solvents actually used in traditional manufacturing processes. Now, green prepared nanoparticles are of considerable concern in the area of biology and medicine due to their shape and unparalleled particle size according to and their biological, physical and chemical properties. Most of the previous studies use biomolecules (carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins and sugars), various types of whole cells of different microorganisms (algae, fungi and bacteria), or mixed plant resources for the formation of metal nanoparticles. Moreover, the biological program, particularly, the use of natural organisms provides a reliable, simple, non-toxic and environmentally friendly method. Hence, the present review provides a brief overview of the biogenic synthesis, potential applications of the biological nanoparticles and their future prospects.
