Resumo

One of the study fields that has been expanding over the past decade is the silver nanoparticles synthesis using microorganisms and plants. The main reason is that through this method nanoparticles of different size, shape and morphology can be synthesised through an eco-friendly method. The low energy requirements and low cost of biological approaches are their key advantages. It is considered as an alternative to the chemical and physical approach. Obtained bio particles due to its physicochemical nature possesses biologically active properties such as antimicrobial activity. This study  shows some of the methods to synthesise silver nanoparticles that are environmentally friendly.
