Abstract
Biomolecules are known to interact with metals and produce nanostructured hybrid materials with diverse morphologies and functions. In spite of the great advancement in the principles of biomimetics for designing complex nano-bio structures, the interplay between the physical properties of biomolecules such as sequence, charge, and hydrophobicity with predictable morphology of the resulting nanomaterials is largely unknown. Here, using various amyloidogenic proteins/peptides and their corresponding fibrils in combination with different pH, we show defined principle for gold nanocrystal growth into triangular and supra-spheres with high prediction. Using a combination of different biophysical and structural techniques, we establish the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth of gold nanostructures and show the effective isolation of intact nanostructures from amyloid templates using protein digestion. This study will significantly advance our design principle for bioinspired materials for specific functions with great predictability.

Abstract
The rise in environmental pollutant levels in recent years is mostly attributable to anthropogenic activities such as industrial, agricultural and other activities. Additionally, these activities may produce excessive levels of dangerous toxicants such as heavy metals, organic pollutants including pesticide and herbicide chemicals, and sewage discharges from residential and commercial sources. With a focus on environmentally friendly, sustainable technology, new technologies such as combined process of nanotechnology and bioremediation are urgently needed to accelerate the cost-effective remediation process to alleviate toxic contaminants than the conventional remediation methods. Numerous studies have shown that nanoparticles possess special qualities including improved catalysis and adsorption as well as increased reactivity. Currently, microorganisms and their extracts are being used as promising, environmentally friendly catalysts for engineered nanomaterial. In the long term, this combination of both technologies called nano-bioremediation may significantly alter the field of environmental remediation since it is more intelligent, safe, environmentally friendly, economical and green. This review provides an overview of soil and water remediation techniques as well as the use of nano-bioremediation, which is made from various living organisms. Additionally, current developments related to the mechanism, model and kinetic studies for remediation of agricultural contaminants have been discussed.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using algal polysaccharides is a simple, low-cost, and an eco-friendly approach. In the current study, different concentrations of Arthospira platensis exopolysaccharides (EPS) were used to synthetize AuNPs via the reduction of gold ions. The biologically synthesized AuNPs (AuNPs1, AuNPs2, AuNPs3) were prepared in 3 different forms through the utilization of three different ratios of EPS-reducing agents. AuNPs analysis confirmed the spherical shape of the EPS-coated AuNPs. Furthermore, AuNPs prepared by EPS and l-ascorbic acid (AuNPs3) showed more stability than the AuNPs colloidal solution that was prepared using only l-ascorbic acid. Analysis of the antimicrobial effects of AuNPs showed that E. coli was the most sensitive bacterial species for AuNPs3 and AuNPs1 with inhibition percentages of 88.92 and 83.13%, respectively. Also, safety assay results revealed that AuNPs3 was the safest biogenic AuNPs for the tested noncancerous cell line. The anticancer assays of the biogenic AuNPs1, AuNPs2, and AuNPs3 against MCF-7 cell line indicated that this cell line was the most sensitive cell line to all treatments and it showed inhibition percentages of 66.2%, 57.3%, and 70.2% to the three tested AuNPs, respectively. The AuNPs also showed abilities to arrest MCF-7 cells in the S phase (77.34%) and increased the cellular population in the sub G0 phase. Gene expression analysis showed that AuNPs3 down regulated Bcl2, Ikapα, and Survivn genes in MCF-7 treated-cells. Also, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of MCf-7 cells revealed that AuNPs 3 and AuNPs2 were localized in cell vacuoles, cytoplasm, and perinuclear region.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has attracted the attention of researchers from different scientific fields because of the escalated properties of nanomaterials compared with the properties of macromolecules. Nanomaterials can be prepared through different approaches involving physical and chemical methods. The development of nanomaterials through plant-based green chemistry approaches is more advantageous than other methods from the perspectives of environmental safety, animal, and human health. The biomolecules and metabolites of plants act as reducing and capping agents for the synthesis of metallic green nanomaterials. Plant-based synthesis is a preferred approach as it is not only cost-effective, easy, safe, clean, and eco-friendly but also provides pure nanomaterials in high yield. Since nanomaterials have antimicrobial and antioxidant potential, green nanomaterials synthesized from plants can be used for a variety of biomedical and environmental remediation applications. Past studies have focused mainly on the overall biogenic synthesis of individual or combinations of metallic nanomaterials and their oxides from different biological sources, including microorganisms and biomolecules. Moreover, from the viewpoint of biomedical applications, the literature is mainly focusing on synthetic nanomaterials. Herein, we discuss the extraction of green molecules and recent developments in the synthesis of different plant-based metallic nanomaterials, including silver, gold, platinum, palladium, copper, zinc, iron, and carbon. Apart from the biomedical applications of metallic nanomaterials, including antimicrobial, anticancer, diagnostic, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine applications, their environmental remediation potential is also discussed. Furthermore, safety concerns and safety regulations pertaining to green nanomaterials are also discussed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were fabricated using Plumeria alba leaf extracts to control the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Synthesized AgNPs and AuNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform Infrared Radiation (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. Susceptibility levels of Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae to the plant extract P.alba and its silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles were determined. The AgNPs and AuNPs spectra displayed their maximum absorption at 300 nm and 500 nm, respectively. The larval mortality of AgNPs and AuNPs were highly effective LC50 were 69.9592 ppm and 88.2635 ppm compared to the aqueous leaf extract of P. alba LC50 was 178.4713 ppm. Furthermore, no significant effects of nanoparticle preparations of P. alba extract 10,000 ppm dose up to one week revealed neither toxic signs nor death within seven days of administration. However, there were no apparent signs of delayed toxicity when the rats were observed for an additional seven days. Current studies revealed that the P. alba leaf extract, AgNPs and AuNPs are biologically safe on animals and eco-friendly for control of Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Abstract
The key pathways for synthesizing nanoparticles are physical and chemical, usually expensive and possibly hazardous to the environment. In the recent past, the evaluation of green chemistry or biological techniques for synthesizing metal nanoparticles from plant extracts has drawn the attention of many researchers. The literature on the green production of nanoparticles using various metals (i.e., gold, silver, zinc, titanium and palladium) and plant extracts is discussed in this study. The generalized mechanism of nanoparticle synthesis involves reduction, stabilization, nucleation, aggregation and capping, followed by characterization. During biosynthesis, major difficulties often faced in maintaining the structure, size and yield of particles can be solved by monitoring the development parameters such as temperature, pH and reaction period. To establish a widely accepted approach, researchers must first explore the actual process underlying the plant-assisted synthesis of a metal nanoparticle and its action on others. The green synthesis of NPs is gaining attention owing to its facilitation of the development of alternative, sustainable, safer, less toxic and environment-friendly approaches. Thus, green nanotechnology using plant extract opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of novel nanoparticles with the desirable characteristics required for developing biosensors, biomedicine, cosmetics and nano-biotechnology, and in electrochemical, catalytic, antibacterial, electronics, sensing and other applications.

Abstract
Engineered nanoparticles that have distinctive targeted characteristics with high potency are modernistic technological innovations. In the modern era of research, nanotechnology has assumed critical importance due to its vast applications in all fields of science. Biologically synthesized nanoparticles using plants are an alternative to conventional methods. In the present study, Citrullus colocynthis (bitter apple) was used for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). UV-Vis's spectroscopy, XRD, SEM and FTIR were performed to confirm the formation of AuNPs. UV-Vis's spectra showed a characteristic peak at the range of 531.5-541.5 nm. XRD peaks at 2 θ = 38°, 44°, 64° and 77°, corresponding to 111, 200, 220 and 311 planes, confirmed the crystalline nature of AuNPs. Spherical AuNPs ranged mostly between 7 and 33 nm, and were measured using SEM. The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of phytochemicals on the surface of AuNPs. Successful synthesis of AuNPs by seed extract of Citrullus colocynthis (bitter apple) as a capping and reducing agent represents the novelty of the present study.

Abstract
In this paper, we explore the self-cleaning and washing durability of green-prepared ZnO NPs combined with cotton fabrics. Honeysuckle extract was used to prepare ZnO NPs with an average particle size of 15.3 nm. Cotton fabrics were then treated with oxalic acid (OA), tartaric acid (TA), and succinic acid (SA) as cross-linking agents, sodium hypophosphite as a catalyst, and after that, the ZnO NPs were applied to the cross-linked cotton fabrics by the padding to prepare the self-cleaning cotton fabrics. The morphology and structure of the fabric samples were characterized using FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and XRD. The optical properties of the cotton fabric samples were discussed by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, and the self-cleaning performance, wrinkle recovery angle and ultraviolet protection performance of the cotton fabric samples were analyzed. The results showed that the carboxyl groups of TA, OA, and SA were esterified with hydroxyl groups of the cotton fiber and formed a film on the surface of the cotton fabrics. ZnO NPs were successfully loaded onto the cotton fabrics by strong electrostatic interaction, causing the improvement of the washing resistance of the cross-linked fabrics. In addition, compared with uncross-linked fabrics, the wrinkle recovery performance of the cross-linked fabrics had also been greatly improved, and the UV protection factor reached 50+, thus obtaining an excellent self-cleaning, multifunctional cotton-based textile with anti-wrinkle and anti-ultraviolet properties.

Abstract
Due to drug addiction and the emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogens, the disease load and medication intake have risen worldwide. The alternative treatment for drug-resistant infections is Nano formulation-based antimicrobial agents. The plant extract of Conocarpus Lancifolius fruits was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles in the current study, and it was further employed as an antimicrobial and anticancer agent. Nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-visible spectrometer revealed the notable peak of λmax = 410-442 nm, which confirms the reduction of silver ion to elemental silver nanoparticles, and the biological moieties in the synthesis were further confirmed by FTIR analysis. The stability and crystalline nature of materials were approved by XRD analysis and expected the size of the nanomaterials of 21 to 173 nm analyzed by a nanophox particle-size analyzer. In vitro, synthesized materials act as an antibacterial agent against Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus. The inhibition zones of 18 and 24 mm have been estimated to be antibacterial activity against both bacteria. The potency of up to 100% of AgNPs for bacterial strains was incubated overnight at 60 μg/ml. Based on our results, biogenic AgNPs reveal significant activity against fungal pathogen Rhizopusus stolonifera and Aspergillus flavus that cause leading infectious diseases. Additionally, nanomaterials were biocompatible and demonstrated the potential anticancer activities against MDA MB-231 cells after 24-hour exposure.

Abstract
Biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by Cheatomorpha antennia and its in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity against Vibrio harveyi in Macrobrachium rosenbergii was demonstrated in the study. In vitro growth curve analysis, cell viability and bacterial inhibitory assays were performed to test the efficacy of synthesised AgNPs against bacteria. Sodium caseinate was used as an encapsulating agent to deliver the antibacterial drugs and the commercial process of microencapsulation comprises the antibacterial bioelements for oral administration to improve the disease resistance of AgNPs against V. harveyi due to the eco-friendly for non-toxic behaviour of nanoparticle and their treatment. Characterisation of antibacterial silver was performed by UV spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The peak at 420 nm showed the presence of nanoparticles in the solution and the crystal nature of the particle was identified by the XRD. FTIR characterised the functional harveyi biomolecules and further SEM confirmed the size of the nanoparticles around 24 ± 2.4 nm. Experimental pathogenicity of V. harveyi showed 100% mortality at the 120th hour. Treatment of encapsulated AgNPs was administered orally for the relative percentage of survival which acquired almost 90% of survival till 30 days of exposure. In conclusion, the microencapsulation of AgNPs in the biopolymer matrices promotes the health, growth responses, immunity and disease resistance of encapsulated AgNPs with an improved relative percentage of survival.

Abstract
Metal nanostructured materials, with many excellent and unique physical and mechanical properties compared to macroscopic bulk materials, have been widely used in the fields of electronics, bioimaging, sensing, photonics, biomimetic biology, information, and energy storage. It is worthy of noting that most of these applications require the use of nanostructured metals with specific controlled properties, which are significantly dependent on a series of physical parameters of its characteristic size, geometry, composition, and structure. Therefore, research on low-cost preparation of metal nanostructures and controlling of their characteristic sizes and geometric shapes are the keys to their development in different application fields. The preparation methods, physical and chemical properties, and application progress of metallic nanostructures are reviewed, and the methods for characterizing metal nanostructures are summarized. Finally, the future development of metallic nanostructure materials is explored.

Abstract
Rapid industrial development is responsible for severe problems related to environmental pollution. Many human and industrial activities require different metals and, as a result, great amounts of metals/heavy metals are discharged into the water and soil making them dangerous for both human and ecosystems and this is being aggravated by intensive demand and utilization. In addition, compounds with metal binding capacities are needed to be used for several purposes including in activities related to the removal and/or recovery of metals from effluents and soils, as metals' corrosion inhibitors, in the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and as metal related pharmaceuticals, preferably a with minimum risks associated to the environment. Plants are able to synthesize an uncountable number of compounds with numerous functions, including compounds with metal binding capabilities. In fact, some of the plants' secondary metabolites can bind to various metals through different mechanisms, as such they are excellent sources of such compounds due to their high availability and vast diversity. In addition, the use of plant-based compounds is desirable from an environmental and economical point of view, thus being potential candidates for utilization in different industrial activities, replacing conventional physiochemical methods. This review focuses on the ability of some classes of compounds that can be found in relatively high concentrations in plants, having good metal binding capacities and thus with potential utilization in metal based industrial activities and that can be involved in the progressive development of new environmentally friendly strategies.

Abstract
Negatively charged liposomes accomplished both functions as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of gold nanotriangles (GNTs). Liposomes are based on a mixture of phospholipids phosphatidylcholine/phosphoglycerol, and they were used as a template phase to perform the GNTs. The method was evaluated under different conditions such as temperature, reaction time, phosphoglycerol chain length, and precursor concentration. Isotropic and anisotropic gold nanoparticles are formed simultaneously during the synthesis. Therefore, by combining centrifugation and depletion flocculation strategies, the sample was concentrated in terms of GNTs from 15% crude to 80% by using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). As a result, a green colored dispersion was obtained containing highly purified, well-defined, negatively charged GNTs, where the edge length of most particles is centered in the range of 60-80 nm with an average thickness of 7.8 ± 0.1 nm. By this purification process, it was possible to highly increase the yield in terms of GNTs. Other surfactants [cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), Tween 20, and dodecyldimethylammonium bromide] were evaluated during the purification stage, and both CTAB and CTAC show similar results to those obtained by using SDS. These GNTs are potential candidates for future applications in molecular imaging, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, biosensing, and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, nanoparticles synthesis by green synthesis has gained extensive attention as a facile, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly method compared with chemical and physical synthesis methods. This review covered the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), including the procedure and mechanism. Factors affecting the formation of ZnO NPs are discussed. The presence of active bioorganic molecules in plant extract played a vital role in the formation of ZnO NPs as a natural green medium in the metallic ion reduction processes. ZnO NPs exhibit attractive photocatalysis properties due to electrochemical stability, high electron mobility, and large surface area. In this review, the procedure and mechanism of the ZnO photocatalysis process are studied. The effects of dyes amount, catalysts, and light on photodegradation efficiency are also considered. This review provides useful information for researchers who are dealing with green synthesis of ZnO NPs. Moreover, it can provide investigators with different perceptions towards the efficiency of biosynthesized ZnO NPs on dyes degradation and its restrictions.

Abstract
The present communication summarizes the importance, understanding and advancement in the photothermal therapy of cancer using gold nanoparticles. Photothermal therapy was used earlier as a single line therapy, but using a combination of photothermal therapy with other therapies like immunotherapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy; efficient therapy management can be achieved. As it was discussed in many studies that gold nanoparticles are treated as idyllic photothermal transducers due to their structural dimensions, which enables them to strongly absorb near infrared light. Gold nanoparticles which are mediated for photothermal therapy can warn cancer cells to chemotherapy, regulate genes and immunotherapy by enhancing the cell permeability and intracellular delivery. The necrosis process and apoptosis depend on the power of laser and temperature within the cancerous tissues which are reached during irradiation. Cells death mechanism is also important because the cells which died through the process of necrosis can endorse secondary tumor growth while the cells which died through apoptosis may provoke the immune response to inhibit the development of secondary tumor growth. To decrease the in vivo barriers, gold nanostructures are again modified with targeting ligand and bio-responsive linker. The manuscript summarizes that the use of gold nanoparticles is capable of inhibiting the growth of cancerous cells by using photothermal therapy which has lesser adverse effects compared to other line therapies.

Abstract
Published studies indicate that virtually any kind of botanical material can be exploited to make biocompatible, safe, and cost-effective silver nanoparticles. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that plants possess active bio-ingredients that function as powerful reducing and coating agents for Ag+. In this respect, a phytomediation method provides favourable monodisperse, crystalline, and spherical particles that can be easily purified by ultra-centrifugation. However, the characteristics of the particles depend on the reaction conditions. Optimal reaction conditions observed in different experiments were 70-95 °C and pH 5.5-8.0. Green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have remarkable physical, chemical, optical, and biological properties. Research findings revealed the versatility of silver particles, ranging from exploitation in topical antimicrobial ointments to in vivo prosthetic/organ implants. Advances in research on biogenic silver nanoparticles have led to the development of sophisticated optical and electronic materials with improved efficiency in a compact configuration. So far, eco-toxicity of these nanoparticles is a big challenge, and no reliable method to improve the toxicity has been reported. Therefore, there is a need for reliable models to evaluate the effect of these nanoparticles on living organisms.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is currently gaining immense attention to combat food borne bacteria, and biofilm. Diabetes is a common metabolic disease affecting majority of people. A better therapy relies on phytomediated nanoparticle synthesis. In this study, W. somnifera leaf extract-assisted ZnO NPs (Ws-ZnO NPs) was synthesized and characterized. From HR-TEM analysis, it has been found that the hexagonal wurtzite particle is 15.6 nm in size and - 12.14 mV of zeta potential. A greater antibacterial effect of Ws-ZnO NPs was noticed against E. faecalis and S. aureus at 100 µg mL-1. Also, the biofilm of E. faecalis and S. aureus was greatly inhibited at 100 µg mL-1 compared to E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme was inhibited at 100 µg mL-1 demonstrating its antidiabetic potential. The larval and pupal development was delayed at 25 µg mL-1 of Ws-ZnO NPs. A complete mortality (100%) was recorded at 25 µg mL-1. Ws-ZnO NPs showed least LC50 value (9.65 µg mL-1) compared to the uncoated ZnO NPs (38.8 µg mL-1) and leaf extract (13.06 µg mL-1). Therefore, it is concluded that Ws-ZnO NPs are promising to be used as effective antimicrobials, antidiabetic and insecticides to combat storage pests.

Abstract
Plant-based synthesis of eco-friendly nanoparticles has widespread applications in many fields, including medicine. Biofilm—a shield for pathogenic microorganisms—once formed, is difficult to destroy with antibiotics, making the pathogen resistant. Here, we synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the stem of an Ayurvedic medicinal plant, Tinospora cordifolia, and studied the action of AuNPs against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm. The synthesized AuNPs were characterized by techniques such as ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy. The AuNPs were spherically shaped with an average size of 16.1 nm. Further, the subminimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of AuNPs (50, 100, and 150 µg/mL) greatly affected the biofilm-forming ability of P. aeruginosa, as observed by crystal violet assay and SEM, which showed a decrease in the number of biofilm-forming cells with increasing AuNP concentration. This was further justified by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), which showed irregularities in the structure of the biofilm at the sub-MIC of AuNPs. Further, the interaction of AuNPs with PAO1 at the highest sub-MIC (150 µg/mL) showed the internalization of the nanoparticles, probably affecting the tendency of PAO1 to colonize on the surface of the nanoparticles. This study suggests that green-synthesized AuNPs can be used as effective nano-antibiotics against biofilm-related infections caused by P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO Nps) were synthesized using Caesalpinia bonducella seed extract via a green synthetic pathway and were evaluated for electrocatalytic properties by carrying out electrochemical detection of riboflavin [vitamin B2 (VB2)]. The seeds of C. bonducella are known to have strong antioxidant properties arising due to the presence of various components, including citrulline, phytosterinin, β-carotene, and flavonoids, which serve as reducing, stabilizing, and capping agents. The synthesized CuO Nps were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetrc analysis-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy and further used as a modifier for a graphite electrode surface. The modified electrode was electrochemically characterized by cyclic voltammetry, square-wave voltammetry, and chronoamperometry techniques and then assessed for electrocatalysis by carrying out the detection of VB2. The electrochemical sensor could be used for nanomolar detection of VB2 with an observed linear range of 3.13-56.3 nM with a limit of detection of 1.04 nM. The electrode showed good stability and reproducibility over a period of 120 days. The CuO Nps were further analyzed for antibacterial effect with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and in both cases, high antibacterial activity was clearly observed. The newly synthesized nanoparticles, thus, proved to be an interesting material for electrochemical and biological studies.

Abstract
Silver is a toxic but precious heavy metal that has been implemented in diverse biomedical and environmental sectors. Extensive use of this metal has provoked severe environmental concerns. Hence there is an increasing demand for the development of a simple, inexpensive and eco-friendly approach for the remediation and recovery of silver. In this study, novel bacterial strains Enterobacter cloacae SMP1, Cupriavidus necator SMP2, and Bacillus megaterium SMP3 were isolated from silver mining site for the sake of silver remediation. Various experimental factors including temperature, pH and inoculum size (I_S) were optimized for silver remediation by SMP1 using central composite design (CCD) based on response surface methodology (RSM). For maximum 100% removal of silver the optimized values of temperature, pH and I_S were 23.5 °C, 7.5 and 2% (v/v) respectively in less than 10 h of incubation. Simultaneously, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were harvested through centrifugation (M1) and by applying voltage (M2) to the crude remediation mixture. The AgNPs, characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and cryo-scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-SETM), were spherical shaped and 1.75-8.7 nm in diameter. The average zeta potentials (ZP) of AgNPs isolated by M1, and M2 were -35.8 mV and -45.2 mV respectively.

Abstract
The present investigation is on the application of green synthesized CuO nanoparticles for elimination of lead (II) from waste water. Nano CuO was prepared from aqueous copper acetate solution and aqueous leaf extract of Simarouba glauca plant. The prepared nano CuO was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, UV, SEM and TEM. The nano CuO synthesized by this method was spherical in shape with particle size nearly 20 nm. The adsorption of lead (II) ions on nano CuO under various parameters such as amount of catalyst, concentration of metal ion and pH were studied using batch adsorption experiments. Experimental results indicate that the green synthesized CuO nanoparticle is a very good adsorbent for the efficient removal of Lead (II) from waste water. Optimum conditions for 95% adsorption of Pb2+ on CuO nanoparticle are pH 6, amount of catalyst 0.05g and concentration of metal ion 10mgL-1.

Abstract
Background:Owing to the importance of metallic nanoparticles, different researches and studies have been induced to synthesize them in many ways. One of the ways that paid attention last years is the green synthesis methods of nanoparticles or the so-called ''eco-friendly methods''. The most common sources that has been used for green synthesis of nanoparticles are plants, leaves, fungi and microorganisms. The green synthesis methods are widely used because they are inexpensive, usable, and nontoxic. Moreover, plant extracts are rich in reducing and capping agents.Methods:In the present review, green synthesis methods of gold nanoparticles (AuNps) using Chitosan, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Magnolia Kobus, Elettaria cardamomum (Elaichi) aqueous extract and other agents as a reducing/capping agents will be discussed in details. Moreover, we will make a comparison between different green routes of synthesis and the characterization of the obtained nanoparticles from each route.Results:The characterization and applications of the prepared GNPs from different routes are reviewed.Conclusion:The utilization of gold nanoparticles has been advocated because of their high biocomptability, administration in clinical applicability and in diverse aspects of life. It seems that plants are good candidates for nanoparticles production because they are inexpensive, available and renewable sources in addition, it is too simple to prepare extracts from them. Moreover, the great diversity in the types and amounts of reducing agents from plant extracts is responsible for the effortless generation of metallic nanoparticles of various shapes and morphologies.

Abstract
There are many methods to synthesize metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. In this paper, copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by solution combustion method using Brassia actinophylla i.e. Schefflera actinophylla flower extract belongs to Araliaceae family. The importance of solution combustion is one of the easy and simplest methods for the synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticle. The CuO nanoparticles were synthesized at various temperatures and the characterization has been carried out by UV, FTIR, PXRD, SEM, TEM and EDAX analysis. At lower temperature, the peak was not observed but at 400 ºC, the UV peak was observed at 340 nm. The FTIR peaks observed at 1000-500 cm-1 confirms again the presence of CuO nanoparticles. The monoclinic phase and crystalline structure of nanoparticles were revealed by PXRD pattern, by Scherrer′s method the average crystalline sizes were found to be in the range of 15 to 24 nm. The size and the shape of nanoparticles were confirmed by SEM and TEM reports. The SEM images of nanoparticles show spherical in shape and free from agglomeration. TEM analysis reports the nanoparticle sizes ranging from 2 to 20 nm. The percentage of copper (52 %) and oxygen (26 %) elements were recorded in the EDAX analysis. The study of size and stability of nanoparticles were done by zeta potential values. The antibacterial activity of CuO nanoparticles were carried out against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria's by agar well diffusion method. The MTT assay was performed in order to check the anticancer activity of CuO nanoparticles against HT-29 colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Shape, size, and homogeneity affect the biological activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in nanomedicine and catalytic applications. Here we biosynthesized monodispersed isotropic and polydispersed anisotropic spherical AuNPs from leaf and seed extract broths of the medicinal plant Peganum harmala L. (Ph. L). Synthesized AuNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IRS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The antimicrobial activity of AuNPs against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) human pathogens was also assessed. Leaf- and seed-derived AuNPs had characteristic localized surface plasmon resonances of 530 and 578 nm, respectively. TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, and XRD revealed the formation of elemental face-centered cubic spherical monodispersed isotropic AuNPs of average size 43.44 nm and polydispersed anisotropic AuNPs of average size 52.04 nm from leaf and seed extract broths, respectively. FT-IR revealed polyphenols and alcohols as responsible for AuNP capping, reduction, and protection. Anisotropic AuNPs showed no antibacterial activity, whereas isotropic AuNPs showed good inhibition of both E. coli and S. aureus. This represents a simple and ecofriendly protocol for the green synthesis of monodispersed isotropic spherical AuNPs, which may have value in a variety of applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Many studies have examined metallic nanoparticles (NPs) produced according to the principles of green chemistry. Gold NPs have drawn much more attention than other metallic NPs in recent years. Moreover, among all gold NP synthesis studies, using plant-derived molecules is one of the commonly used reductants in studies on NP synthesis because of its convenience in terms of shape, size control advantage, and nontoxic specifications. The present review focused on studies of the synthesis of gold NP types, including single gold atom NPs, alloyed AU NPs, and core-shell Au NPs as well as their conditions and applications. The effect of those structures on application fields such as catalysis, antifungal action, antibacterial activities, sensors and so on are also summarized. Furthermore, the morphology and synthesis conditions of the primer and secondary NP were discussed. In addition to synthesis methods, characterization methods were analyzed in the context of the considerable diversity of the reducing agents used. As the reducing agents used in most studies, polyphenols and proteins usually play an active role. Finally, the challenges and drawbacks in plant-derived agent usage for the preparation of Au NPs at various industries were also discussed.

Abstract
Naturally occurring phytochemicals serve as an excellent substitute in synthesizing nanomaterials. A process for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the aqueous leaf extract of naturally occurring Scoparia dulcis is described here. The extracellular formation of AgNPs occurred within few minutes upon incubation of S. dulcis aqueous leaf extract (0.1 mL) (100% extract) with silver nitrate (2 mM AgNO3) at 90 °C for 30 min, is first of its kind work. The appearance of bright yellow color with λmax 420 nm confirm the formation of AgNPs. Zeta potential and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies reveal stable AgNPs (-22.7 mV) and characteristic spectra for silver. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicate the involvement of carboxyl, amine and hydroxyl groups in the synthetic process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show the spherical nature of AgNPs measuring 3-18 nm in size. Additional characterization using Dynamic light scattering (DLS) revealed the average particle size distribution of AgNPs as around 8.2 nm. Further antimicrobial testing through agar disc diffusion plate method indicated that silver nanoparticles are potentially active against pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and are only optimally active against fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans and measurement of minimal inhibition concentration by standard microdilution method. In conclusion, the study suggests that successful synthesis of green nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous S. dulcis leaf extract is simple, rapid, environmentally benign and economical. Moreover, these synthesized silver nanoparticles showed antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
This study demonstrates a simple one-pot green method for biosynthesis of terpenoids encapsulated copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Eucalyptus globulus (ELE), as reducing, dispersing, and stabilizing agent. Indeed, the greater attachment and internalization of ELE-CuONPs in Gram-positive and -negative biofilm producing clinical bacterial isolates validated the hypothesis that terpenoids encapsulated CuONPs are more stable and effective antibacterial and antibiofilm agent vis-à-vis commercially available nano and micro sized analogues. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis of pristine ELE identified 17 types of terpenoids based on their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios. Amongst them four bioactive terpenoids viz. terpineols, 2,6-octadienal-3,7-dimethyl, benzamidophenyl-4-benzoate and β-eudesmol were found associated with the CuONPs as ELE-cap, and most likely involved in the nucleation and stabilization of ELE-CuONPs. Further, the Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) analysis of ELE-CuONPs also implicated other functional biomolecules like proteins, sugars, alkenes, etc. with ELE terpenoids corona. Flow cytometric (FCM) data exhibited significantly enhanced intracellular uptake propensity of terpenoids encapsulated ELE-CuONPs and accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ensued killing of planktonic cells of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESβL) producing Escherichia coli-336 (E. coli-336), Pseudomonas aeruginosa-621 (P. aeruginosa-621) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-1 (MRSA-1) clinical isolates compared to the bare surface commercial nano-CuO and bulk sized CuO. The study for the first-time demonstrated the (i) differential bio-nano interface activities due to ELE surface and varied cell wall composition of test bacterial isolates, (ii) antibacterial effect and biofilm inhibition due to disruption of proteins involved in adhesion and biofilm formation triggered by CuONPs induced intracellular oxidative stress, and (iii) indigenous terpenoids-capped bio-inspired CuONPs are more stable and effective antibacterial and antibiofilm agent as compared with commercially available nano-CuO and bulk-CuO.

Abstract
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SeITE02 and Ochrobactrum sp. MPV1 were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of the selenium-hyperaccumulator legume Astragalus bisulcatus and waste material from a dumping site for roasted pyrites, respectively. Here, these bacterial strains were studied as cell factories to generate selenium-nanostructures (SeNS) under metabolically controlled growth conditions. Thus, a defined medium (DM) containing either glucose or pyruvate as carbon and energy source along with selenite () was tested to evaluate bacterial growth, oxyanion bioconversion and changes occurring in SeNS features with respect to those generated by these strains grown on rich media. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show extra- or intra-cellular emergence of SeNS in SeITE02 or MPV1 respectively, revealing the presence of two distinct biological routes of SeNS biogenesis. Indeed, the stress exerted by upon SeITE02 cells triggered the production of membrane vesicles (MVs), which surrounded Se-nanoparticles (SeNPsSeITE02-G_e and SeNPsSeITE02-P_e with average diameter of 179 ± 56 and 208 ± 60 nm, respectively), as highlighted by TEM and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), strongly suggesting that MVs might play a crucial role in the excreting mechanism of the SeNPs in the extracellular environment. On the other hand, MPV1 strain biosynthesized intracellular inclusions likely containing hydrophobic storage compounds and SeNPs (123 ± 32 nm) under pyruvate conditioning, while the growth on glucose as the only source of carbon and energy led to the production of a mixed population of intracellular SeNPs (118 ± 36 nm) and nanorods (SeNRs; average length of 324 ± 89). SEM, fluorescence spectroscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) revealed that the biogenic SeNS were enclosed in an organic material containing proteins and amphiphilic molecules, possibly responsible for the high thermodynamic stability of these nanomaterials. Finally, the biogenic SeNS extracts were photoluminescent upon excitation ranging from 380 to 530 nm, whose degree of fluorescence emission (λem = 416–640 nm) was comparable to that from chemically synthesized SeNPs with L-cysteine (L-cys SeNPs). This study offers novel insights into the formation, localization, and release of biogenic SeNS generated by two different Gram-negative bacterial strains under aerobic and metabolically controlled growth conditions. The work strengthens the possibility of using these bacterial isolates as eco-friendly biocatalysts to produce high quality SeNS targeted to possible biomedical applications and other biotechnological purposes.

BACKGROUND Since ancient times, potential of plants in research and medicine have found pronounced applications, due to better therapeutic value. To meet the mounting demands for commercial nanoparticles, novel eco-friendly methods of synthesis has led to a remarkable progress via unfolding a green synthesis protocol towards metallic nanoparticles synthesis. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE This review highlights the biological synthesis of various metallic nanoparticles as safe, cost effective process, where the phytochemicals present in extract such as flavonoid, phenols, terpenoids act as capping, reducing and stabilizing agents. Moreover, due to their nano size, the nanoparticles directly bind to bacterial strains leading to higher antimicrobial activity. CONCLUSION Nano-sized dosage systems have a potential for enhancing the activity and overcoming problems associated with phyto medicines. Hence, synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using various plant extracts, emerge as safe alternative to conventional methods for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In materials science, “green” synthesis has gained extensive attention as a reliable, sustainable, and eco-friendly protocol for synthesizing a wide range of materials/nanomaterials including
metal/metal oxides nanomaterials, hybrid materials, and bioinspired materials. As such, green synthesis is regarded as an important tool to reduce the destructive effects associated with the traditional methods of synthesis for nanoparticles commonly utilized in laboratory and industry. In this review, we summarized the fundamental processes and mechanisms of “green” synthesis approaches, especially for metal and metal oxide [e.g., gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper oxide (CuO), and zinc oxide (ZnO)] nanoparticles using natural extracts. Importantly, we explored the role of biological components, essential phytochemicals (e.g., flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, amides, and aldehydes) as reducing agents and solvent systems. The stability/toxicity of nanoparticles and the associated surface engineering techniques for achieving biocompatibility are also discussed. Finally, we covered applications of such synthesized products to environmental remediation in terms of antimicrobial activity, catalytic activity, removal of pollutants dyes, and heavy metal ion sensing.
