Nanotechnology involves creating and manipulating organic and inorganic matter at the nanoscale. Microbial nanotechnology is based on the use of microorganisms, including algae, bacteria, actinobacteria and fungi for synthesis of metallic and non-metallic nanomaterials. In addition, it discusses about role of biogenically synthesized nanoparticles in medicine and health, food and agriculture, energy, environment, etc. It also covers toxicity and safety issues. Presently, the researchers are looking into the development of cost-effective procedures for producing reproducible, stable and biocompatible nanomaterials. Microbial mediated synthesis of metal nanomaterials is gaining more importance owing to its simplicity, ecofriendliness and rapid rate of synthesis of nanomaterials of attractive and diverse morphologies and bioactivity. The size and shape of fabricated bionanoparticles can also be completely regulated by controlling the environment where the nanocrystal growth occurs. Moreover, biological methods have the greater advantage of easy bulk synthesis which can be exploited for industrial scale production too"-- ER -
