Following the global trend to reduce the generation of toxic substances produced in various cutting-edge technological processes, among which is the synthesis of nanomaterials, new synthesis alternatives are currently being explored using green chemistry procedures to develop biocompatible metallic bionanomaterials in a sustainable way. Based on these premises, this work uses biotechnological methods to develop the controlled synthesis of Au and Ag bionanoparticles (BioAuNP's and BioAgNP's) in a single step, using Agave extracts as reducing and stabilizing agents at the same time. The results obtained to date demonstrate the synthesis of highly stable BioAuNP's and BioAgNP's in short times, low temperatures and without requiring additional compounds for their stabilization. Due to these characteristics, it is expected that the Au and Ag nanoparticles generated have high biocompatibility and present advantages for biomedical applications.
