Summary:Title screen
The nano-sized particles make an imprint on us in our daily lives and it has great importance in the numerous fields of biotechnology like the food industry, medical and industrial field. Gold nanoparticles are one of the widely used particles as it has many therapeutic applications, such as drug delivery system for many diseases like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus etc. biosensors, and environmental applications of dye degradation, bioremediation of toxic chemicals present in the environment (soil and atmosphere). Gold nanoparticles synthesis by the green route has become the latest development, because of the bioavailability of sources like plants or microorganisms, and it also reduces the utilization of toxic chemicals. This review explains the various microorganisms like bacteria, algae, fungi, actinomycetes and yeast involved in the synthesis of these nanoparticles also elucidate the size, shape and functional groups involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles and its applications.
