Nanobiotechnology: Microbes and Plant Assisted Synthesis of Nanoparticles, Mechanisms and Applications

Nanobiotechnology: Microbes and Plant Assisted Synthesis of Nanoparticles, Mechanisms and Applications covers in detail the green synthesis of nanostructures with tailor made size, shape and deserved physico-chemical and opto-electronic properties. Rationale behind selection of bacteria, cyanobacteria, algae, fungi, virus and medicinal plants for synthesis of biologically active exotic nanoparticles for biomedical applications is also part of this book. It also explores metal recovery, bioconversion, detoxification and removal of heavy metals using nanobiotechnology and discusses the potential of nanobiotechnology to address environmental pollution and toxicity. The book covers the economic and commercial aspects in mind, current status in intellectual property rights like patents filed so far globally, technology transfers, market potential. This information enables to decipher the scope of biogenic nanoparticles and its prospects. Provides an overview on general and applied aspects on nanotechnologyGives scope of exploring bacteria, fungi, algae, virus and medicinal plants for synthesis of exotic nanoparticlesFurnishes a comprehensive report on the underlying molecular mechanisms behind biosynthesis of nanoparticlesOutlines sustainable alternative strategies of bioremediation of heavy metals, metal recovery, detoxification and bioconversion using nanobiotechnologyExplores promises of patenting, technology transfer and commercialization potential of biogenic nanoparticles INDICE: 1.
