Biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Agnps) is a rapidly developing area in the field of nanobiotechnology. Wide research is going on ecofriendly synthesis and antimicrobial mechanisms of the Agnps. In this book the possible mechanisms for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by the microbes and the mechanistic modes of antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles were discussed and the research work involved in the synthesis of Agnps using fungi Aspergillus niger was included. Finally the book ends by giving information on biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles and the...

Industrial wastes are having high impact on environment. Hydrocarbon industry is one of the biggest industries emitting huge amounts of wastes into environment. These wastes have high impact on the soil physico-chemical, biological and enzyme properties. This book gives detailed information regarding the effect of these wastes on soil health. First chapter give brief introduction about the background of this field. Second chapter deals with various procedures followed. Third chapter specifies results and discussion. Fourth chapter provides conclusion and followed by fifth chapter with...
