What is it about?
This review discusses environment-friendly protocols for the synthesis of nanoparticles by a diverse group of biological agents. These biological agents are safe, eco-friendly and lead to green synthesis of nanoparticles. The present review focuses on the role of biological agent(s) (fungi, bacteria, yeasts, plants, etc.) towards the development of green nanotechnology, mechanism of synthesis, the applications of nanoparticles in different fields of science and technology, and also the toxicological effects of nanoparticles.
