Biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles with orange peel waste in microwave: characterization, and spectral properties.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the study, production and controlled manipulation of materials with a grain size < 100 nm. At this level, the laws of classical mechanics fall away and those of quantum mechanics take over, resulting in unique behaviour of...

Green synthesis, characterization and functional validation of bio-transformed selenium nanoparticles

Selenium, an essential micronutrient with potent anticancer and antioxidant properties, the inorganic form of selenium is highly toxic, while organic and elemental nanoforms are more bioavailable and less toxic and have gained attention owi...

Selenium Nanoparticle-Enriched and Potential Probiotic, <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> S14 Strain, a Diet Supplement Beneficial for Rainbow Trout

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) intestine, were cultured in MRS medium and probiotic candidates. Concurrently, producers of elemental selenium nanoparticles (Se0Nps) were selected. Probiotic can...

Optimization of Bacillus cereus Fermentation Process for Selenium Enrichment as Organic Selenium Source

Selenium is an essential trace element and micronutrient for human health. Application of organic selenium in plants and microorganisms as trace element supplement is attracting more and more attention. In this study, Bacillus cereus, an im...
