Description

Highlights: • Yeast cells were used as carriers for hosting metal nanoparticles via in situ metal ion reduction. • Yeast cells carrying metal nanoparticles are "green" hierarchical particle systems without any chemical stabilizers or dispersants. • Ag nanoparticles with size of about 4 nm were produced inside yeast cells by UV illumination. • Ag nanoparticles with size of about 9 nm were produced in the cell envelope by chemical reduction. • Pd nanoparticles with size of about 11 nm were almost evenly distributed in every parts of yeast cells.
