Microbial Nanotechnology

Description

Nanotechnology is involved in creating and manipulating organic and inorganic matter and equally promises to provide the means for designing nanomaterials. It is gaining attention worldwide due to its enhanced physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. The use of microorganisms to produce nanoparticles results as a power booster for green biotechnology and other emerging fields of nanotechnology. It is increasingly used in all the new products and devices with a great impact on different fields. Nowadays, it is attracting many new and exciting approaches towards various development of greener. One of the most major challenges the global advancement of the nanomaterials market faces is that of environmental sustainability of non-manufacturing processes. The basic principles of green chemistry combined with white biotechnology carry the potential to contribute to the development of many more sustainable industrial processes and non-manufacturing.

This book is based on microbial nanotechnology and its diversity, where it discusses it in detail. The section of the book also covers different challenges and prospects of microbial nanotechnology. It provides an account of the biogenic synthesis of nanomaterials used by using all the different microorganisms. The chapters are highly focused on the biosynthesis of different metals and other metal oxides and all the nanosized materials by using different bacteria and fungi. This text shares all the information related to the field and is described in a whole understanding manner.
