Biological Synthesis of Nanoparticles by Bacteria and Biogenic Sustainable Nanotherapeutics
Abstract
This chapter examines the numerous types of nanoparticles that are produced by bacteria, with an emphasis on the mechanics involved. In sustainable nanomedicine, it emphasizes the therapeutic potential of biogenic nanoparticles, specifically for antidiabetic, antibacterial, anticancer, and wound-healing applications. The Boolean method was used to source data from Google Scholar, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, and PubMed. Although bacteria can produce nanoparticles with great therapeutic potential, issues including repeatability, scalability and property control still exist. Recent developments have overcome certain challenges and optimized the synthesis of bacterial nanoparticles for medical applications. These nanoparticles offer a novel and sustainable approach to nanomedicine, increasing the range of disorders that can be treated. To ensure practical usefulness, further research is needed to improve biocompatibility, synthesis techniques, and scalability. In conclusion, bacterial biogenic nanoparticles have enormous therapeutic promise, but overcoming present production obstacles is necessary to realize their full clinical utility.
