This book covers biological synthesis approaches for nanomaterials and nanoparticles including
introductory material on their structure phase compositions and morphology nanomaterials
chemical physical and biological properties. The chapters of this book describe in sequence
the synthesis of various nanoparticles by microorganisms bacteria yeast algae and
actynomycetes plant and plant extract-based synthesis and green synthesis methods. Each
chapter provides basic knowledge on the synthesis of nanomaterials defines fundamental terms
and aims to build a solid foundation of knowledge followed by explanations examples visual
photographs schemes tables and illustrations. Each chapter also contains control questions
problem drills as well as case studies that clarify theory and the explanations given in the
text. This book is ideal for researchers and advanced graduate students in materials
engineering biotechnology and nanotechnology fields. As a reference book this work is also
appropriate for engineers in R&D and product manufacturing.
