The production of nanoparticles (NM) and metal nanoparticles (MPM) are among the main areas in nanotechnology (NT), as NM, like all NT, is interdisciplinary in nature and, actually, intersectoral in use. Among all types of NF, NFMs occupy an important place and they are very widely used in various fields of science and technology: medicine (therapy, diagnosis), environmental protection, catalysis, agricultural engineering, product packaging, antimicrobial treatment, etc. Our series of articles will cover the methods of NMFs production and their application in various fields of medicine (wound healing, oncology, treatment of bacterial and viral diseases). In this paper we will focus on the methods of the NMFs production and, above all, on the biosynthesis of noble and heavy metal NMFs.
