MORALES-DIAZ, América Berenice et al. Biomanufacturing of metal nanoparticles using plant cells or plant extracts. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.5, pp.1211-1224. ISSN 2007-0934.

A review is presented on the biomanufacturing of nanoparticles (NPs) of metals using plant extracts, cell organ cultures or live plants. The two methods of manufacturing green nanoparticles are described: the biochemical process extracts and biological process involving living cells. The redox mechanism biomanufacturing of NPs is discussed, emphasizing those points that require further clarification in order to standardize processes to adapt to an industrial production system. It also describes what is known about the fate of NPs biomanufacturing in living cells, highlighting the process of extra- and intracellular as well as between different tissues and organs of the plant mobilization. Finally the factors discussed that regulate the rate of biomanufacturing of nanoparticles in living cells and tissues, directing attention to what you need to master to obtain bio-factories for the production of NPs where the variability in size, shape and reactivity fit to industry standards.
