What is it about?
Bio-nanotechnology is a promising new field in research area as it engineers different properties of materials at nanoscale.Microbes and plants being the part of green synthesis (biological methods) emerge as simple and viable alternative approach to the chemical and physical synthesis methods of silver nanoparticles available so far. Here in this article microbial synthesis of silver nanoparticles was conducted as its fast growing, inexpensive method and microbes are easy to cultivate and manipulate and poses minimal risk to human health. And antibacterial activity of nanoparticles was checked.

Why is it important?
Microbial synthesis of metal nanoparticles take place either intracellular or extracellular. Extracellular synthesized nanoparticles : easily harvested and collected. Yields small size and low dispersive silver nanoparticles as being made by biological means are less toxic towards human health and are used in various fields including cosmetcis, medical etc. In this such article smallest sized silver nanoparticles were produced through optimization and characterization through biological means.
Perspectives
Working on this concept "the formation of silver nanoparticles through microbial means" following biological methods was a great opportunity I had. Throughout my work I optimized (through different parameters) the size and characterized (through various methods) the nanoparticles and got smallest size of them which was a great achievement I had. Further their antibacterial activity was also monitored. I do hope you find this article helpful ahead.
