Özet

Nanoparticles have attracted a lot of attention in recent years and it is

important to produce various types because they have multidisciplinary

working areas. Microbial synthesis of nanoparticles is a promising approach

as it is potentially environmentally friendly, economical, fast, non-toxic and

biocompatible. These nanoparticles have properties that make them effective

in various fields of technology, including biomedical, industrial, cosmetic,

textile, food, agriculture and biomedical. Biological synthesis pathways use a

variety of microorganisms, mainly bacteria and fungi, for the synthesis of

different nanoparticles such as silver, gold, selenium, magnesium, silicon,

iron, zinc, copper, platinum, and palladium. Microorganisms can produce

nanoparticles by intracellular or extracellular synthesis pathways. Minimizing

the production time, producing nanoparticles in the desired structure and size,

and optimal production of nanoparticles with preferred nanoparticle structural

properties are important. Therefore, it is important to understand the synthesis

mechanisms in nanoparticle production. This chapter provides information on

the influence of physicochemical factors as well as molecular mechanisms

involving enzymatic and non-enzymatic production of nanoparticles.
