objective(s):  biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (ngps) is environmentally safer than chemical and physical procedures. this method requires no use of toxic solvents and synthesis of dangerous products and is environmentally safe. in this study, we report the biosynthesis of ngps using streptomyces djakartensis isolate b-5.   materials and methods: ngps were biosynthesized by reducing aqueous ...

Background: Developing effective methods for the synthesis of bio-compatible and non-toxic nanoparticles is the main goal of nanotechnology. In the most chemical methods, a chemical reducing agent is used to reduce metal ions. But, in chemical methods, the stability of nanoparticles is controversial and synthesis in large sizes is much more difficult. Moreover, there is an incr...

bio-directed synthesis of nanoparticles is an interesting field of rapid advancement for biologists,chemists and materials scientists, especially in light of efforts to find out green methods of inorganicmaterial synthesis. in the present study, green synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (ptnps) using sheepmilk is reported for the first time. by adjusting the concentrations of chloroplatinic aci...

nanobiotechnology appears to be an emerging science which leads to new developments in the field of medicine. importance of the magnetic nanomaterials in biomedical science cannot be overlooked. the most commonly used chemical methods to synthesize drugable magnetic nanobeads are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and microemulsion. however monodispersion, selection of an appropriate coati...

in present study we studied using green routes for microwave assisted synthesis of alumina nanoparticles from aluminum nitrate. it was revealed that when plant extracts are used, no specific stabilizer is needed. structural characterization of nanoparticles was studied using x-ray diffraction that showed semi-crystalline structure for two of plant extracts, other xrd patterns had no significant...

In present study we used five green plants for microwave assisted synthesis of Alumina nanoparticles from Aluminum nitrate. Structural characterization was studied using x-ray diffraction that showed semi- crystalline and possibly, amorphous structure. Fourier infrared spectroscopy was used to determine Al-O bond and functional groups responsible for synthesis of nanoparticles. FTIR confirmed e...

An efficient synthesis of original bio-reductive probes suitable for the detection of azoreductases from the fluorescent rhodamine 110 dye is presented. A "turn-on" green fluorescence response upon reduction of the two diazo bonds of these latent fluorophores was observed both in vitro and in the context of bacterial cultures.
