A mini review on green nanotechnology and its development in biological effects

Abstract

The utilization of living organisms for the creation of inorganic nanoscale particles is a potential new development in the realm of biotechnology. An essential milestone in the realm of nanotechnology is the process of creating dependable and environmentally acceptable metallic nanoparticles. Due to its increasing popularity and ease, use of ambient biological resources is quickly becoming more significant in this field of study. The phrase “green nanotechnology” has gained a lot of attention and refers to a variety of procedures that eliminate or do away with hazardous compounds to repair the environment. Green nanomaterials can be used in a variety of biotechnological sectors such as medicine and biology, as well as in the food and textile industries, wastewater treatment and agriculture field. The construction of an updated level of knowledge with utilization and a study of the ambient biological systems that might support and revolutionize the creation of nanoparticles (NPs) are presented in this article.

“…Further research is needed to explore its applications and potential environmental impact. Furthermore, Shaheen ( 2021 ) and Salem ( 2023 ) reported that the biosynthesis of nanoparticles involves bio-reduction capping and trapping. Enzymes present in the cell wall of microorganisms convert metal ions and metal oxide into nanoparticles, which then diffuse away from the cell membrane.…”

Response surface methodology: a powerful tool for optimizing the synthesis of metal sulfide nanoparticles for dye degradation

“…Biosynthesis of metal sulfides by bacteria, fungi, algae and actinomycetes has garnered immense attention in the field of nanotechnology. 95 Bacteria possess the capability to reduce metallic ions into nanoparticles and are one of the most suitable candidates for metal sulfide nanoparticles because of their manageable nature and high growth rate. Metal complexation typically involves bacterial cell wall functional groups like hydroxyl, amine, and carbonyl groups.…”
