Application of nanoparticles derived from marine Staphylococcus lentus in sensing dichlorvos and mercury ions

Mechanisms and applications of microbial synthesis of metal nanoparticles in agri-sectors

“…175 Ag 2 ONPs synthesized by Staphylococcus lentus allow for the rapid detection of mercury ions by observing their color change. 176 Moreover, MNPs synthesized by microbes are also used to develop highly sensitive sensors for detecting the residue of pesticide chemicals. 4-Nitrophenol, as a degradation product of some pesticides, can exert toxic effects on the environment and organisms.…”

“…180 AuNPs synthesized by the marine bacterium Staphylococcus lentus enabled the rapid and simple visual detection of the toxic insecticide dichlorvos. 176 A gold nanoparticle sensor synthesized by Streptomyces tuirus DBZ39 could detect phenolic compounds within 3 minutes, demonstrating potential applications in the detection of pesticide chemicals. 181,182 Microbially synthesized MNPs can also be used to monitor plant physiological status, soil nutrients, and plant diseases.…”

A review on biogenic synthesis of gold nanoparticles, characterization, and its applications

“…Nanoparticles have been used for sensing different types of toxic metals from the environment. For example, copper is considered as a toxic pollutant, also involved in the genetic disorder Wilson's disorder in which the copper level is above than normal, which is required for physiological activities, the gold nanoparticles have been used in the detection of such pollutants [57,71] .…”
