Ecological synthesis of silver nanoparticles using bacteria

Abstract

Due to the potential use of nanomaterials, there is a need to investigate environmentally friendly technologies for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Traditionally, nanoparticles are synthesized by physical and chemical methods. However, these methods are characterized by the use of hazardous and aggressive substances, which are harmful to the environment and cause serious health problems. It should be noted that the production of nanoparticles using microorganisms, in particular bacteria, is environmentally safe, since this method of synthesis does not require the use of toxic materials.
