Production and Biological Characterization of Nanoparticles from Mangrove-Associated Microorganisms
摘要
Mangroves are a transitional habitat between terrestrial and marine settings, including a diverse range of flora and animals that can adapt to both conditions and are regarded as biodiversity hot spots. Under extreme salt stress, they develop, flower, and contribute to the ecosystem. Mangroves have an advanced system for the ion control, salt exclusion, photosynthesis, and food absorption due to their diverse physiological adaptations. Mangrove resources show promise for the synthesis of bioactive nanomaterials, which can be useful in environmental and medicinal applications. This chapter discusses the manufacturing of nanoparticles by bacteria, fungus, yeast, and algae, as well as the significance of mangrove species and its biologically active substances as a possible source of innovative pharmaceuticals as well as potential applications.
