Biological synthesis
 Rapid synthesis, controlled toxicity, controlling on
size characteristics, economical and eco-friendly
approach
Crucial point before going for biological method
 What biological system can be used to (bacteria, plant
and fungi) synthesis nanostructure ?
 Can we do it extracellularly ?
 What is the biochemical process leading to
nanoparticle formation ?
 Is size control possible ? Better monodispersity ?
 How about nanoparticle shape modulation ?
 Can we use extracts of plants in nanobiosynthesis ?

Biological system for nanoparticles
Why do organisms synthesize nanoparticles?
 Major reasons involved in such synthesis is
detoxification which can be carried out by
1. Modifications in the cellular transport mechanisms
to restrict entry of the toxicions into the cell
2. Sequestration of the toxic species within the cell
(intracellular sequestration) oroutside the cell
(extracellular sequestration)
3. Activation of energy-dependent efflux pathways to
eliminate the toxic species
4. Enzyme catalyzed oxidation or reduction of the
toxic species to a less toxic form

Au-Ag alloys: Synthesis
 Fungus Fusarium oxysporum.
 It has been found that initially Au is reduced followed by Ag leading to nanoparticles of Au-Ag
alloy.
 Depending on the biomass of fungus used one can change the composition of the alloy nanoparticle
formed from pure Au to pure Ag with increase in the biomass concentration
