From the reviews: "This is the first book introducing the new biotechnology of biogenic metal nanoparticles. The editors as well as the contributors are experienced and leading researchers in the field of nanotechnology. ... All readers - PhD students, researchers or even undergraduate students with keen interest in microbiology, or professors - may find interesting contributions on metal nanoparticles in microbiology."
