Time-dependent growth of crystalline Au0-nanoparticles in cyanobacteria as self-reproducing bioreactors: 1. Anabaena sp.

MnO2 Submicroparticles from Chinese Brush and Their Application in Treatment of Methylene Blue Contaminated Wastewater

“…1 The use of biotemplate makes the synthetic procedure simple and product controllable taking advantage of the nature of their own. Biotemplates like organisms (butterfly wing, 2 hair, 3 wood fiber 4,5 and pollen 6 ), microorganisms (bacteria, 7,8 fungus, 9,10 and viruses 11 ) and biological macromolecules (DNA, [12][13][14] RNA, 15 proteins, [16][17][18][19] and polysaccharides 20 ) were reported to prepare inorganic materials. Among these templates, proteins have gained more popularity by researchers, 21 ranging from ferritin, [22][23][24][25] bovine serum albumin (BSA) [26][27][28][29][30][31] to collagen [32][33][34] .…”

Bioinspired synthesis, characterization and antifungal activity of enzyme-mediated gold nanoparticles using a fungal oxidoreductase

“…These researches showed that the use of fungi has the extra advantages of simplicity in usage and handling of biomass for extracellular production [39,40]. Extracellular synthesis of silver, gold-silver and other metal nanoparticles using F. oxysporum has been reported so far indicating the priority of this fungus in nanoparticle synthesis as a good cell factory of beneficial enzymes and proteins [23,25,33,39,[50][51][52][53].…”

Biogenic nanomaterials from photosynthetic microorganisms

“…However, at a lower Au 3+ concentration, viable, vegetative cells of the cyanobacteria Anabaena sp. (SAG 12.82) are able to continually produce 9 nm NP within the extracellular polysaccharide layer, providing the proof of concept for a continuous, self-replicating NP bioreactor [29 ].…”
