Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have remarkable properties with versatile applications like antimicrobial, larvicidal, anticancer and wound healing. Biogenic synthesis of AgNPs utilizing microorganisms is apparent and inferable from its guaranteed rewards including pharmacological and other potential applications. The utilization of bacteria and fungi for the synthesis of AgNPs is noticeably advantageous due to the formation of high amount of proteins, simple handling, less toxicity and high yield. Further, the stability of the biological activity of the AgNPs is also greatly improved as these AgNPs are readily coated by biomolecules derived from these microorganisms. This chapter provides valuable insights about the bacterial and fungal mediated synthesis of AgNPs and its noteworthy applications in different fields.
