Abstract: This article discusses the processes and applications of biosynthesized quantum dots (QD) in biotechnology. QD are nanoscale semiconductor particles with unique optical and electronic properties, making them attractive for various applications. The biosynthesis of QD involves the use of biological entities to produce nanoparticles (NPs), allowing for precise control of size and shape. QD is highly advantageous over organic fluorophores because of their distinct optical and chemical properties, and they can be utilized as fluorescent indicators for various biological applications. This article also discusses the advantages of biosynthesis over traditional chemical synthesis methods, including the use of less toxic materials and a lower environmental impact. In the future, the potential of QD is closely tied to the advancement of new generations of particles that possess precise and uniform dimensions, as well as unique optical properties.
