Bionanofactories - S. Hemalatha

This book focuses on the groundbreaking field of bionanofactories, where living organisms such as plants, fungi, and bacteria are utilized to synthesize nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, and other nanomaterials through sustainable and eco-friendly approaches. These organisms act as natural bionanofactories, facilitating biocapping and bioreducing processes that lead to innovative solutions in biotechnology.

The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the use of actinobacteria as potential bionanofactories, the application of bionanomaterials in food science, and the development of siRNA/miRNA delivery systems for cancer therapy. Readers will also explore plant-mediated nanoparticles for biomedical applications, bionanomaterials for diagnostics and drug delivery, and the use of algal resources for next-generation biogenic nanomaterials. The book provides a detailed examination of how these bionanofactories can be harnessed for green synthesis, offering insights into their potential applications in agriculture, healthcare, cosmetics, food, energy, and environmental science.

This volume is a must-read for researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and environmental science. It offers a comprehensive overview of the latest research and applications in bionanotechnology, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in sustainable production methods and the future of green synthesis.
