im going to carry out isolation experiment of bacteria, fungi and microalgae from soil for synthesis of different metal nanoparticles. Are there any procedures to know which microbes have potential to produce particular metal nanoparticle prior to their identification and synthesis of nanoparticle procedure?
Any reducing agent with an acceptable redox potential has the capacity to produce metallic (nano)particles from acceptable metal salt precursors. It's a strange construction to ask what microorganisms will produce metallic nanoparticles because the strict answer is none, You add an appropriate metallic precursor to such systems and reduction may or may not take place.
There are technologies and numerous studies and reviews on the treatment of waste by microorganisms. Using them to get nanoparticles. Microorganisms are too complex to predict their response to a particular precursor or waste.
