Abstract
Nanoparticles of metals have momentous place in the field of biological as well as pharmaceutical chemistry due to which in the present scenario of the research, this field is of auspicious interest. Synthesis of metal nanoparticles via microbial assistance is a burning field for their green synthesis. In this direction, microbial enzymes play significant role, out of which microbial laccases may also be a talented biocatalyst for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles considering its efficacy and interesting promising biological applications. A very little works are known on the role of microbial laccases in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles but after effective scrutiny of their reported works on the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles, its fate as potential biocatalyst in the synthesis of metals nanoparticles is being automatically established. Thus, this perspective commendably appraises the active applicability of microbial laccases in the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by reducing their ions in suitable reaction environment.
