Abstract
Several methodologies including chemical, physiochemical, and biological process have been adopted for the synthesis of nanoparticles with controlled morphologies and dimensions. Many of the chemical processes require the use of toxic chemicals, which have adverse impacts on our ecosystem. Although physiochemical techniques are considered as green technologies, they often use more energy and are more difficult to scale up.
On the other hand, it appears that many recently reported biological approaches could address the toxic chemical and energy-inefficient issues while having merits of easily scalable and low-cost processes. In this chapter, we introduce green biological approaches based on prokaryotic, for example, bacteria, and eukaryotic systems, such as plants, algae, yeast, and fungi and virus for the synthesis of nanoparticles.
