An Overview: Biological Organisms That Serves as Nanofactories for Metallic Nanoparticles Synthesis and Fungi Being the Most Appropriate

Abstract

Nanotechnology implies to the manipulation, reduction and fabrication of materials at nano scale. Nanoparticles, exhibiting distinct morphological characteristics which is quite different from their bulk form. In recent years nanoparticles have been produced by industries for commercial application having many benefits. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles attracts many researchers and industries to explore microorganisms such as Bacteria, Fungi, Algae etc as the perfect biological system for the assembly of different nanoparticles. Fungi being the most suitable as mycosynthesis is not only ecofriendly but also makes the downstream processing for product recovery much easier.
