Biological synthesis of Copper nanoparticles using Pseudomonas fluorescens

The synthesis and use of metal nanoparticles have gained consideration due to their unique electrical, optical, catalytic and magnetic properties [1-5] which are different from bulk materials. In recent times, synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles has been demonstrated by many chemical and physical methods. But the importance of biological synthesis is being realized globally as chemical methods are toxic, costly and non-ecofriendly [6]. It is, therefore, important to develop synthetic strategies which are simple, cost-effective, environment friendly and easy to scale. Hence, importance is being given to develop eco-friendly green route for the production of metal nanoparticles using biological systems.
