Biosynthesis of Nanoparticles by Microorganisms and Applications in Plant Stress Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Growth-Promoting Microbes for Sustainable Biotic and Abiotic Stress Management

Abstract

In particular, microorganisms and plants which are naturally synthesized have drawn significant attention to nanoscale materials. It is of considerable importance to establish environmentally friendly techniques in nanomaterial synthesis to extend their biological applications. Currently, many techniques were developed using different microorganisms to synthesize a wide range of inorganic nanomaterials with well-illustrated chemical structure, particle size, and shape. Their applications were also investigated in several high-tech scientific fields. Recent advances in biosynthesis of nanoparticles, including metallic nanoparticles, oxide nanoparticles, sulfide nanoparticles, or other typical microorganism nanoparticles, have demonstrated organic and inorganic properties of nanoparticles and their overall properties. There would also be consideration of various suggested pathways of inorganic nanoparticles. Consideration is given to conditions for control of nanoparticles’ size/shape and stability and applications of such biosynthesized nanoparticles to plant physiology, crop protection, and antibacterial agents in a wide range of application areas. It addresses potential mechanisms for regulating biotic and abiotic stress by biosynthesized nanoparticles and the existing limitations and prospects for microorganisms to synthesize inorganic nanoparticles.
