Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Nanotechnology is the part of science which manages the assessment of materials in nanorange, which ranges from 1 to 100 nanometers. Research and studies in the area of nanotechnology has been improved quickly all through the world. Nanoparticles have risen to prominence lately because of their broad applications in assortment of fields including diagnostics, biomarkers, cell labeling, antimicrobial agents, medication delivery, and cancer therapy. In spite of the capability of filling in the area of nanotechnology, there are still a few stresses over the potential dangers and impacts of nanoparticles on the climate and human wellbeing. Green chemistry was created as an alternative to the use of damaging processes and products to the environment.

The two procedures for preparation of nanoparticles: The top down approach, where a huge structure is dismantled into smaller components using various techniques like grinding, milling, sputtering, thermal/laser ablation, etc; and the bottom-up approach, To construct a huge nanostructure, material is generated from the atomic level utilizing various chemical, physical, or biological reactions; methods include chemical reduction, electrochemical methods and sono decomposition

A. Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Because of its low toxicity, cost adequacy, ecofriendliness, and speed, plant-mediated production of metal nanoparticles is gaining traction. Plants are also a good source of bioactive plant secondary metabolites like polysaccharides, proteins, polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, amines, ketones, and aldehydes, which behave as reducing, settling and capping agents in the transformation of metal ions to metal nanoparticles, prompting in the production of desirable nanoparticles with predefined  attributes.

B. Natural Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Traditional methods have been utilized for past numerous years, but studies have shown that green approaches are more effective for the generation of NPs because they have fewer risks of failure, minimal expense, and are simpler to characterize. Organisms have evolved to be able to survive in situations with high metal concentrations. These organisms might modify the compound idea of the poisonous metals by bringing down their harmfulness or making them nontoxic. The "consequence" of an organism's resistance mechanism to a certain metal is the production of nanoparticles.

C. Bacteria Mediated Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Bacterial species have been broadly used for business biotechnological applications like bioremediation, genetic designing, and bioleaching. A range of bacterial species are used in the synthesis of metallic and other unique nanoparticles. Metal oxide nanoparticles have been widely synthesized using prokaryotic bacteria and actinomycetes.

The following are some examples of bacterial strains that have been widely used to produce bioreduced silver nanoparticles with various dimension morphologies: SH10 Phaeocystis antarctica, Pseudomonas proteolytica, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus indicus, Bacillus cecembensis, Enterobacter cloacae, Geobacter spp., Arthrobacter gangotriensis, Corynebacterium sp. SH09, and Shewanella oneidensis

D. Fungi Mediated Synthesis of Nanoparticles

The manufacture of metal oxide nanoparticles by fungi is also a vastly more efficient technique for creating monodispersed nanoparticles with well-defined morphologies. Fungi are widely used for Nanoparticle synthesis as a result of the existence of a wide range of intracellular enzymes, protein and reducing components in them. Fungi produce more amounts of Nanoparticles than bacteria. The use of fungus for Nanoparticle manufacturing offers a number of advantages over bacteria, including higher surface area offered by the fungal mycelia, easier downstream processing, and a lower cost.

Because of its applicability in a variety of industries, such as antimicrobials and electronics, the manufacture of Silver Nanoparticles utilizing fungus has been a focus of research.

The following are examples of various fungus which are used to produce silver Nanoparticles Rhizopus nigricans, Aspergillus fumigates, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Aspergillus favus, Aspergillus Niger, Fusarium solani

E. Yeast Mediated Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Because of their wide surfaces, yeasts may absorb and collect a considerable amount of deadly metals from their surroundings. To adapt to harmful metals, yeast utilizes a variety of detoxifying processes such as bio-precipitation, chelation, extracellular sequestration, and bio-sorption. During Nanoparticle synthesis, these yeast-adapted processes are employed to create and enhance the durability of nanoparticles, resulting in changes in particle size, particle characteristics, and location.

The following are examples of various Yeast which are used to produce Nanoparticles MKY3, Saccharimyces cerevisae broth

F. Actinomycetes Mediated Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Actinomycetes are gram-positive, non-motile soil bacteria that resemble fungus in appearance. Actinomycetes produce nanoparticles of diverse forms. Techniques such as FT-IR, TEM, UV-vis, SEM, AFM, XRD, and DLS have been used to characterize NPs generated from actinomycetes. The microbially generated AgNPs employing Actinomycetes were shown to be extremely hazardous to bacteria, and smaller AgNPs created by the microbiological approach displayed more antibacterial activity than their chemical moieties.

G. Plant Mediated Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Plants are believed to be more favorable for green Nanoparticle manufacturing than microorganisms since they are nonpathogenic and several routes have been carefully investigated. Various plants have been used to create a wide range of metal nanoparticles. The optical, thermal, magnetic, physical, chemical, and electrical characteristics of these nanoparticles are all distinct.

To further investigate the many uses of metal oxide nanoparticles produced by plant leaf extracts, several researchers have used a green manufacturing approach. To make AuNps and AgNPs, researchers used a variety of plants, including Aloe barbadensis Miller, Avena sativa, Medicago sativa Osimum sanctum, Citrus Limon, Azadirachta indica, Coriandrum sativa.

II. APPLICATIONS OF GREEN SYNTHESIZED NANOPARTICLES

A. Antimicrobial Activity

Because of the developing microbial resistance to traditional antiseptics and antibiotics, several investigations have been conducted to improve antimicrobial activities. The metallic nanoparticles successfully inhibit various bacteria species, according to in vitro antimicrobial investigations. Microbial resistance to antimicrobial medicines has progressively increased over time, posing a significant hazard to public health. To combat microorganisms, several nanoparticles use numerous processes at the same time.

B. Water Treatment

The use of nanoparticles for water purification has gotten a lot of interest because of their ability to be both adsorbents and filters. Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) are likewise super-magnetic and have a large surface area. Thus, MNPs are also utilized to remove harmful heavy metals from polluted water, such as cations, natural organic matter, biological contaminants, and organic pollutants, such as nitrates, fluoride, and arsenic.

C. Dentistry

The term "Nano dentistry" refers to the application of nanotechnology in the dental discipline. Oral disease prevention medications, prosthesis, and tooth implantation all employ nanoparticles. Nanomaterials can also carry oral fluid or medications, preventing and treating some oral diseases (such as oral cancer) and ensuring a high level of oral health care.

D. Agriculture

Nanotechnology in agriculture may considerably improve the efficiency of agricultural inputs, and so nanoparticles provide a key means to maintain the long-term growth of agro ecosystems. For possible uses in agriculture, Nano-plant growth promoters, Nanopesticides, Nanofertilizers, Nano-herbicides, agrochemical encapsulated Nanocarrier systems, and so on have been created. Nano-plant growth promoters, Nanopesticides, Nanofertilizers, Nano-herbicides, agrochemical encapsulated Nanocarrier systems, and other agricultural nanotechnologies have been created.

E. Drug Delivery

Nanotechnology's application in medicine, especially medication delivery, is expected to grow substantially. Many compounds are now being researched for medication delivery and, more especially, cancer treatment. The dangers presented by utilizing nanoparticles for medicine administration go beyond those posed by chemicals in traditional delivery matrices. Nanoparticles are chosen as possible medication carriers because of their tiny size, high surface to volume ratio, and rapid diffusion. The exact composition of the Nanoparticle formulation determines the possible contact with tissues and cells, as well as the potential toxicity.

Conclusion

Because traditional NP development methods are expensive and create highly hazardous products, it is urgent to limit the risk of toxicity in the environment from the many chemicals employed in physical and chemical procedures. \"Green synthesis\" is one of the alternative methods for generating NPs that has been discovered. Various natural extracts (biocomponents such as plant, bacterium, fungus, yeast, and plant extract) have been used as efficient resources for the synthesis and/or production of materials in this study. Green nanoparticles are used in a variety of industries, including dentistry, pharmaceuticals, bio-sensing, medication delivery, and many more.
