Description

Nanoparticles Synthesis by Soil Microbes: Application in Plant Production and the Environment, a volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome series, presents an advanced and recent description of plant and soil microbiome in the nanoparticle synthesis and their application in sustainable agriculture and environment. In The book covers the broad aspect of microbial synthesized nanoparticles in their synthesis and application in sustainable agriculture and environmental management in line with the recent and timely further interest in the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles due to their environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, rapid, and efficient nature.

The microbial cell contains various bioactive compounds, and in the last few years, nanoparticle syntheses from the microbial cell have been increasingly sought due to their overall cost effectiveness and less toxic residual products. Microbe-assisted synthesis of nanoparticles could provide a green, environmentally benign, rapid and efficient route for the fabrication of biocompatible nanostructures with diverse physical-chemical and optoelectronic properties.

Key features

  • Covers the plant and soil microbiome and their aspect in the synthesis and application of nanoparticles
