Abstract In recent times, the use of nanomaterials has gained prominence in
the elds of agriculture, biological science, electronics, and medicine owing to their numerous applications. Their unique characteristics, such as high surface/ volume ratio, specic structures, and dimensions that are similar to those of biomolecules, provide special features for biomedical and therapeutic applica­tions. It is well known that algae, bacteria, and fungi can take metals from their surroundings and transform them into elemental nanoparticles, which can then be accumulated or released. Actinomycetes, as green nanofactories, have been regarded as an emerging eld for research to produce low-cost, high-quality approaches for producing sustainable useful products with numerous applica­tions. The distinctiveness of biologically active actinomycetes has drawn the attention of experts all around the world to better understand their possibility as effective nanofactories. As a dominant microbial phylum, actinomycetes are helpful for the breakdown and transformation of organic and inorganic sub­strates and can also synthesize economically viable proteins, enzymes, and anti­biotics. Antibiotics produced by these organisms have been utilized in almost every medical intervention and are now known to facilitate the production of nanoparticles with preferred surface and size attributes.

8.1 Introduction
Nanoparticles (NPs) are small particles that typically range in size from one- hundred nm. These particles can exist naturally and can be synthesized using different modes. They are similar to certain things in nature, such as DNAand proteins (Khan etal. 2019). They are distinct in their sizes and sur­face areas.
NPs, owing to their unique characteristics, have a diverse array of applications in multiple elds. Their exceptional properties, such as distinctive optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties, along with enhanced electrical conductivity, increased reactivity, and larger surface area, make them invaluable for a wide range of appli­cations (Khan etal. 2019). Like in the eld of biomedicine, NPs are used to enhance drug delivery. Their minuscule size allows them to penetrate biological systems and reach cells or tissues effectively. Medications encapsulated within nanoparticles exhibit improved solubility, stability, and controlled release, leading to more ef­cient treatments with reduced side effects (Modena etal. 2019). NPs have applica­tions in food packaging to extend the shelf life and enhance safety. They are also used in agriculture to optimize the management of fertilizers, pesticides, and growth chemicals, minimize environmental impacts, and maximize crop yield (Khan etal.
2019). NPs are indispensable for environmental purication. They can be harnessed
to combat air pollution, facilitate waste management, and purify water by removing impurities. Their use provides effective and long-lasting solutions to environmental problems.
NPs can be synthesized from diverse resources like metals (gold, platinum, and silver), metal oxides (like iron oxide and titanium dioxide), semiconductors (such as tiny particles called quantum dots), plastics, carbon-based stuff (such as graphene and carbon tubes), and biological sources like plants and microbes (Jamkhande etal. 2019). There are different approaches to NP synthesis, such as chemical synthesis, physical synthesis, and green synthesis (from living things). The characteristics of NPs can also be regulated using different approaches.

8.2 Green Nanosynthesis: ASustainable Method
NPs can be synthesized in two ways: Biological and nonbiological. Nonbiological techniques require unusual response conditions, signicant energy inputs, and pre­carious ingredients. An eco-friendly, clean, nontoxic, and economical process is promised through the use of biological systems as nanofactories. Green synthesis has gained attention because it produces size-controlled, resilient, and dispersed nanomaterials with desired physicochemical qualities by reducing the ionic concen­tration through biological processes (Ying etal. 2022). Moreover, green synthesis methods are progressively replacing physical and chemical methods to forestall various setbacks such as excessive energy consumption, emissions of harmful and toxic substances, and the prerequisite of complex equipment and synthesis conditions.
Green synthesis makes use of organic resources and environmentally desirable components, such as microbial cultures and plant parts (Yosri etal. 2021). Metal nanoparticle synthesis utilizing microorganisms, specically actinomycetes, has been attempted and succeeded in several cases. Several Streptomycetes species, for instance, are capable of synthesizing both AgNPs and AuNPs (Ying etal. 2022). For the conversion of nanoparticles, the proteins and polyphenols found in green sources may serve as reducing agents. The advantages of green synthesis, such as environ­mentally sound, economical, and stable materials, emphasize the importance of green nanoparticles (GNPs). However, there are some limitations such as increased reaction time, reduced product quality, and difculties in raw material extraction.
8.3 Top-Down andBottom-Up Approaches forNP Synthesis
Two basic methods have been proposed for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles: top-down and bottom-up (Fig.8.1). Top-down methodology controls the process of manufacturing NPs by breaking down, mechanically grinding, or slicing bulk

material into nanoscale particles, whereas the bottom-up approach synthesizes NPs by assembling atoms at the nanoscale (Abid etal. 2022). The physical generation of nanoparticles uses a top-down approach, whereas biological and chemical synthe­ses use a bottom-up approach. However, unlike physiochemical synthesis, biogenic synthesis uses a range of bioactive metabolites and enzymes from microbial and plant sources to catalyze the breakdown of metal substances to produce the correct amount of NPs under ambient conditions. This is because metal ions are reduced considerably more quickly using natural agents (Prakasham 2012).
S. Paul et al.
8.4 Actinomycetes asNanofactories
Actinomycetes, which are G a high G+C (Guanine + Cytosine) content, distributed extensively in both terres­trial and marine environments (Thekkangil and Suchithra 2020; Thekkangil etal.
2021). These ubiquitous organisms are well-known for their ability to produce a
wide range of distinct secondary metabolites with a wide range of applications (Aswani etal. 2019; Kumari etal. 2020). Owing to this potential, studies on the bioprospecting of actinomycetes for various purposes have garnered signicant interest. The production of nanoparticles by actinomycetes is a rapidly emerging eld, with various species such as Streptomyces, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, and Thermomonospora being known to produce nanometals (Sandhu and Goel 2023). These organisms are capable of generating different types of nanoparticles, includ­ing silver, gold, iron, and copper, which possess various biological activities.

8.4.1 Extracellular andIntracellular Actinomycetes-Mediated
Biosynthesis ofNPs
Actinomycetes are known to adapt to extreme environments and tolerate a high concentration of metals. They also have the capability to degrade inorganic ele­ments into NPs. As part of their microbial defense strategy for cellular detoxica­tion, these organisms are able to utilize metal ions from the surrounding environment, which further convert the ions into elemental metal form by the process of enzy­matic reduction (Kumari etal. 2020). Based on the site of manifestation, NP pro­duction can be categorized as extracellular or intracellular (Table8.1).
During extracellular synthesis, metal ions are reduced to their elemental form by microbial enzymes and proteins. During the process of intracellular NP synthesis, positively charged metal ions initially attract to the negatively charged carboxyl groups in the microbial cell wall via electrostatic force of attraction. This makes it possible for the metal ions to inltrate through the cellular membrane and undergo further metallic reduction through intracellular proteins/enzymes within the cell

(Venkateswaran etal. 2022). Several reports on both extracellular and intracellular synthesis have been postulated, and in every hypothesis, the major enzymes included are oxidoreductases such as sulte reductase, nitrate reductase, and cellular trans­porters (Koul etal. 2021). The intracellular process entails the transfer of metal ions
144
https://t.me/med1917
inside the microbial cell with the help of transporter enzymes, whereas in the extra­cellular method, enzymatically reduced ions accumulate on the cell surface.
Actinomycetes-mediated intracellular NP production involves the reduction of metal ions at the mycelia and cytoplasmic membrane (Kumari etal. 2020). The synthesis of AgNPs is a typical example of an intracellular method for synthesizing metal NPs. In one of the proposed mechanisms for AgNP synthesis by intracellular mechanism, rst Ag+ ions got trapped on the surface of actinomycete cells through electrostatic interactions with negatively charged carboxylate groups present in the mycelial cell wall and are further reduced to metallic AgNPs in the nuclei by the reductase enzyme. Extracellular synthesis in actinomycetes mostly occurs within the nitrogen cycle via enzymatic reduction of nitrates to nitrites. It is commonly recognized that the biogenic synthesis of AgNPs is signicantly inuenced by NADH-dependent nitrate reductase (Mabrouk etal. 2021). The most acceptable mechanism for AgNP synthesis is the bioreduction of Ag+ ions to metallic Ag by nitrate reductase. This enzymatic metal-reduction reaction occurs in various elec­tron shuttle chains (Koul etal. 2021). A related process for AuNPs is the reduction of Au ions from aqueous AuCl4. It appears that electron transfer from NADH initi­ates the bioreduction of gold ions, which is catalyzed by NADH-dependent nitrate reductase as a carrier for electrons. Au ions are further reduced to electrons, con­verted to gold, and subsequently to gold NPs (Kumari etal. 2020).
S. Paul et al.
Mechanisms ofNanoparticle Biosynthesis
The reduction of metal ions to their corresponding nanoparticles is facilitated by a few secondary metabolites as well as by intracellular and extracellular enzymes (Fig.8.2). The process can be divided into three phases. In the rst phase, metallic ions are either absorbed within microbial cell membranes via cationic membrane­transport systems or collected on the cell surface through electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged cell wall. In the second phase, metal ions (M+) are reduced to zero-valent metals (M°), catalyzed by oxidoreductase enzymes, such as nitrate reductase. Which further results in the conversion to monovalent- or divalent­metal ions from zero valent states. Ultimately, the resultant NPs coalesced into a variety of morphological forms, such as cubes, ovals, triangles, hexagons, and spheres. The third step involves the stabilization of the nanoparticles via capping agents to inhibit development and agglomeration while also regulating their size and form (Messaoudi and Bendahou 2020).
8.4.2 Bioprocess ofNPs Using Actinomycetes
Bioprocesses can be classied into the downstream, fermentation, and upstream sub­categories. Downstream processing includes inoculum preparation and medium for­mulation. Actinomycetes can be isolated from various sources, such as soil, water, and

Fig. 8.2 Proposed nanoparticle synthesis mechanism: Figure illustrating the processes involved in extracellular and intracellular synthesis of MtNPs. In extracellular NP synthesis, Metal ions (M+) are adsorbed on the cell wall and further reduced to metals (M°) by extracellular oxidoreductase enzyme. In the intracellular synthesis of MtNPs, M+ is transferred into the cytoplasm of the cell and subsequently reduced by metabolic processes involving various oxidoreductase enzymes.
plant parts, or revived/activated from stock culture. Multiple media options exist for the growth of actinomycetes, including Starch Casein Agar, Bennett Agar, International Streptomycetes Project Mediums, and Chitin Agar (Salem etal. 2020). The cultivation conditions must be optimized for optimal NP yield, including the appropriate culture medium, pH, temperature, and agitation. Following a 3–4day incubation period at 28°C with shaking, mycelia were removed from the culture broth by ltration and subsequently wash with sterile distilled water (Kumari etal. 2020). Both the superna­tant and biomass were tested for NP synthesis, and it was observed that microorgan­isms were capable of synthesizing NPs extracellularly or intracellularly.
Extracellular synthesis involves mixing the cell-free supernatant with a metal precursor salt solution, whereas intracellular synthesis involves mixing the washed biomass with a metal precursor salt solution. The color formation after incubation indicated the synthesis of nanoparticles. Centrifugation was then used to recover and collect the precipitated nanoparticles as bottom pellets. If the nanoparticles are synthesized inside the cell, an additional step of cell disruption is necessary, which can be executed through repeated cycles of ultrasonication to release the NPs from the cell for further recovery (Moholkar et al. 2021). Following recovery,
