           Biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received considerable attention due to the growing need to develop environmentally benign nanoparticle synthesis processes that do not use toxic chemicals. Therefore, biosynthetic methods employing both biological agents such as bacteria and fungus or plant extracts have emerged as a simple and a viable alternative to chemical synthetic and physical method .It is well known that many microbes produce an organic material either intracellular or extracellular which is playing important role in the remediation of toxic metals through reduction of metal ions and acting as interesting Nano factories. As a result, in the present study Ag NPs were synthesized by two methods biosynthetic technique using supernatant of Corynebacterium glutamicum that isolated from soil and green synthesis method by using plant extracts of fresh green plants.Ag NPs which synthesized by two methods were investigated visually by monitoring the color shift of reaction mixture from pale yellow to brown color, UV-Visible spectrophotometer was used to measure maximum absorbance of synthesized Ag NPs. The nanoparticles synthesized from Corynebacterium glutamicum exhibited maximum antimicrobial activity against selected pathogenic and environmental strains more than Ag NPs synthesized by green synthesis method from Spinacia oleracea, Malva parviflora and Eruca sativa. plant extracts

In this study, we proposed the solution plasma- (SP-) assisted green synthesis method using plants extracts, i.e., glucose, with the expectation of acting as a reducing agent and promotor for the formation of powder state of nanostructured MnO2. MnO2 was simply and rapidly synthesized within 10 min by the SP-assisted method. The structural features and morphology of as-synthesized MnO2 were characterized by XRD, Raman, FE-SEM, and TEM analyses. For potential application of as-synthesized MnO2, cationic dye, i.e., methylene blue (MB), removal performance was investigated by batch experiment at an initial concentration of C0 = 100 mg L−1. The obtained MnO2 exhibited effective dye removal ability given high C0, and simultaneously applied plasma discharging further enhanced removal efficiency. These contributions therefore open a new window not only on a powerful and environmentally benign synthesis route for efficient adsorbents but also on supporting multiple removal mechanism.

 Nanoscience has found various applications in different biomedical fields. The synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has become a vast area of research due to its potential applications. These particles can be prepared by different chemical, physical, and biological approaches. In recent years, green synthesis of NPs using plant extracts has gained much interest due to non-toxicity and very low cost of synthesis. The plant extracts act both as reducing agent as well as capping agent. Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) is a well-known medicinal plant and has been studied for the biosynthesis of NPs. A. indica has various phytochemicals identified that can reduce the metal ions. The bioreduction of NPs from neem extract is an eco-friendly, low cost, and green synthesis method and these NPs are reported to exhibit good antimicrobial, mainly antibacterial, activity

Silver has been known for its antimicrobial activity for a very long time. Formulation of silver particles that range from 1-100nm in size makes it even more potent to induce antimicrobial effect. Green chemistry has started to become more frequent in the field of biochemical research. Silver nanoparticles synthesized from green synthesis method provide a cheap and environmental friendly method of nanoparticle preparation. The aim of the current study is green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using tomato juice as reducing and capping agent and evaluation of its antimicrobial activity. The stability and conformation of SNPs was determined by UV-visible spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of synthesized SNPs was determined against E.coli DH5α. Ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis offered peak at 400 nm that indicate the production of SNPs of adequate size.  E.coli DH5α showed considerable decrease upon introduction of SNPs to the bacterial inoculum. Upon increasing the concentration of silver nanoparticles an increase in zone of inhibition was recorded.  For 70µg/ml of SNPs, the zone of inhibition was 0.5 cm, while 0.6 cm, 0.7 cm and 0.7cm was recorded for 100µg/ml, 150µg/ml and 200µg/ml of SNPs respectively. The efficacy of antimicrobial activity of SNPs derived from tomato juice proves its potential use in pharmaceutical and medicinal industries for synthesis of nanomedicine.

The advancement in nanoparticulate system has a great impact in many scientific areas. Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) such as silver, gold and copper were found to exhibit antibacterial and other biological activities. The phytochemical constituents (Tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins and glycosides) present in the plant extracts were used for the green synthesis of NPs of desired size and morphology. Moreover, these active molecules act as reducing and capping agents for the synthe¬sis of NPs, which makes them suitable for biomedical applications. Apart from many approach on synthesis of nanoparticles, green synthesis method becomes more preferable because of its ecofriendly and nontoxic approach. This approach might pave the path for researchers across the globe to explore the potential of different herbs in the synthesis of NPs. This chapter will discuss the synthesis of various metal NPs using plants and their phytochemical constituent's involved during the synthesis. A section devoted to the different applications will be presented.

AbstractNanotechnology is a growing area of research. For example, gold nanoparticles have a wide variety of applications, including optical, electronic, and medical; they are also used as catalysts in biosensor applications and can be used for scanning, carrier, heat source, and sensors. Therefore, nanoparticle synthesis is of great importance to the country’s economy and to scientific development. Nanoparticle synthesis involves using chemical methods, physical methods, or both chemical and physical methods. The synthesis is performed at high pressures or high temperatures and severe conditions, both of which have a high cost in terms of energy. In our investigation, we used a green synthesis method, which used quail eggs that required more moderate conditions and less energy. The yolk from quail eggs has a high protein and vitamin content. Using quail egg yolks, the reaction conditions were optimized in terms of pH, temperature, and concentration. The morphological properties of the obtained gold nanoparticles were characterized using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, a scanning electron microscope, and an X-ray diffraction analysis.
