Potential of Marine Algae in Biosynthesis of Nanoparticles and their Applications

Marine algae have been played an important role in human life since 3000 BC, with their nutritional and therapeutic values. In recent years, the role of marine algae in various industrial, agricultural and therapeutic applications have been further enhanced with their ability to biosynthesize nanoparticles. In this work, we tried to shed some light on different traditional and biotechnological applications of marine algae in modern life, particularly their utilization in the wider applications of nanotechnology.
