Abstract

Nature is more often intrigue yet enrapturing and its cohorts right from microbes, crustaceans, animals to giant tree ferns and cycads are mere mega-assemblies of molecules interacting with each other, screening themselves from the wrath and rigors of the exponentially changing environment thereby displaying themselves as living conglomerate of molecules obeying the precept of thermodynamics. Molecules as and when challenged, dissociated, or hived from their natural milieu liberate energy and that helps to negotiate a chore of nanotransformation. Biological systems were engineered to take up various naturally posed challenges and were given metabolites to circumvent such threats. These molecules are used by the surviving humanity for different purposes of their beneficiation. Broadly categorized as primary and secondary metabolites depending upon their functional chores, they seemingly have proved their prodigality towards nanomaterials synthesis. This fact holds water for all natural cohorts and broadly relies upon the incubation of broth, its seasoning and other pivotal experimental protocols.

“You got to accept Nature the way she is not the way you want her to be…..”

Richard Feynman.
