Abstract
Currently, the green synthesis of nanoparticles is a research area that is being intensified due to its wide range of applications and cost efficiency. The potential nature of different types of microorganisms in the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) is due to their biocompatible nature, highly biodegradable, comparatively less toxic and as a template for the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and their stabilization. This review focuses on the existing knowledge on the EPS-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, the possible mechanisms in the reduction of EPS-mediated silver metal, and the application of EPS-AgNPs as an affordable, environmentally friendly, and potential candidate for biodegradation of harmful textile dyes.
