“…The biosynthesis of NMs is a bottom-up approach that consists in challenging natural bioresources by different salts to produce different types of NPs [17,39,40] whose properties are of paramount importance since they display high stability, water solubility, and, most importantly, improved biocompatibility, which are key assets for their application in the biomedical field and in the environment [41,42]. Over the last decades, various NMs have been biosynthesized, typically metallic [43,44], metalloid [45], oxides [46][47][48][49], carbonates [50,51], and chalcogenide [52,53]. On the other hand, countless studies have reported the biosynthesis of NMs using various biological entities [54,55], such as bacteria and actinomycetes [10,56,57], fungi and yeast [10,[58][59][60][61], plant extracts [62,63], algae [64,65], viruses [66], and biomolecules [67][68][69].…”
