Abstract
Microbial Chemistry–Driven Synthesis and Functionalization of Nanomaterials
Author(s): Rodrigo A. PachecoNanomaterials have gained significant attention due to their unique physicochemical properties and wide-ranging applications in pharmaceutical, biomedical, and industrial fields. Microbial chemistry has emerged as a sustainable and versatile approach for the synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials, utilizing the metabolic capabilities of microorganisms. Microbes can produce nanoparticles and nanostructures with controlled size, shape, and surface chemistry under environmentally benign conditions. This article explores the role of microbial chemistry in nanomaterial synthesis, emphasizing the chemical mechanisms involved, material properties, and relevance to pharmaceutical and technological applications.
