Abstract

Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms that provide numerous advantages over the eukaryotic systems in green synthesis of nanoparticles. These include rapid growth rates and suitable adaptations to tide over unfavorable conditions created in medium accommodating nanoparticles. The unique phenomenon of intracellular and extracellular production of nanostructures by bacteria as a biogenic agent has been exhaustively reported. Biofabrication has been done using different bacterial components like spores, flagellin, exopolysaccharides, rhamnolipids, and bacterial surfactants. The chapter discusses the mechanism and utility of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles.
