“Precision Microbial Nanobiosynthesis: Knowledge, Issues, and Potentiality for the
In Vivo Tuning of Microbial Nanomaterials” Grasso et al. provided an insightful
discussion on precision microbial nanobiosynthesis to produce tuned nanomaterials
from microbes deploying optimization and genetic engineering. Chapter “Current
Advances in Fungal Nanobiotechnology: Mycofabrication and Applications” by
Shaheen et al. discussed advances in mycosynthesis of nanoparticles, the chapter
“Environmental Nanobiotechnology: Microbial-Mediated Nanoparticles for
Sustainable Environment” by Darwesh et al. dealt with environmental remediation
using microbe-mediated nanoparticles, and in the chapter “Nanotechnology in
Bioprocess Development: Applications of Nanoparticles in the Generation of
Biofuels”, Sanusi et al. dwelt on applications of nanoparticles in bioprocess development with the focus of biofuel technology.
In the chapter “Microbial Enzymes in Nanotechnology and Fabrication of
Nanozymes: A Perspective”, the interplay of exploitation of enzymes in microbial
nanobiosynthesis and nanomaterials as nanozymes for catalytic applications was
documented by Elegbede and Lateef, while in the chapter “Microalgal
Nanobiotechnology and Its Applications—A Brief Overview”, Adelere and Lateef
provided an overview of microalgae in nanobiotechnology. In the chapter
“Mushroom Nanobiotechnology: Concepts, Developments and Potentials”, Adebayo
et al. discussed mushroom nanobiotechnology: concepts, developments and potentials, while Jaffri and Ahmad in the chapter “Microbial-Mediated Nanoparticles for
Sustainable Environment: Antimicrobial and Photocatalytic Applications” described
antimicrobial and photocatalytic applications of microbe-mediated nanoparticles.
Adebayo et al. made submission on beneficial microbes to produce nanoparticles for
nanomedical applications in the chapter “Beneficial Microbes as Novel Microbial
Cell Factories in Nanobiotechnology: Potentials in Nanomedicine”; Raj et al.
addressed the applications of microbe-mediated nanoparticles in agriculture in the
chapter “Applications of Microbe-Based Nanoparticles in Agriculture: Present
Microbial nanobiotechnology: the melting pot of microbiology, microbial technology and
nanotechnology
