APPROACHES FOR SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM MICROBES: A REVIEW

The synthesis of bio inspired nanoparticles is an important branch in nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are fundamental building blocks of nanotechnology. Different biological methods are used for the production of silver nanoparticles (SNP) due to their several applications, such as, antibacterial effect, biological sensors, drug delivery, textile, and filters. In recent years, biological synthesized silver nanoparticles have been great interest in the formulation of new pharmaceutical products. In th is research article, a simple and eco-friendly biosynthesis of AgNPs was prepared using microbes and various plant extract as reducing agent. This review reports the potential of plants i.e. “green chemistry” to synthesis nanoparticles not only in the laboratory scale but also in their natural environment. Nanoparticles can be synthesized by physical, chemical and biological methods.
