摘要

Nanotechnology has now advanced into a phase where application of nanoparticles in various domains of science and technology is being cited. At the same time employment of biosynthetic methods for synthesizing nanoparticles, have drawn pronounced attention of researchers. And is now, being looked forward as a simple and viable alternative against conventional physical and chemical methods. Under the biological realm range of entities from unicellular microbes to multicellular plant structures are reported to synthesize nanoparticles. This review, attempts to consolidate the substantial data reported and to generalize the methodologies & mechanisms employed for the synthesis of nanoparticles using various microbes and plant extracts; and, highlight key factors that lead to maximum production of size and shape controlled nanoparticles with these bio-reduction processes.
