Biosynthesis and Characterization of Manganese and Zinc Nanoparticles
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles is an expanding research area due to the potential applications for the ecofriendly development of novel technologies. Generally, nanoparticles are prepared by a variety of chemical methods which are not environmentally friendly. Present study reported a fast, convenient and intracellular method for the synthesis of manganese and zinc nanoparticles by reducing Manganese sulphate and Zinc sulphate with the help of Streptomyces sp. HBUM171191. The characterization of nanoparticles was done by using UV- Vis Spectrophotometer. The morphology of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM). The size of MnSO4 and ZnSO4 was ranges from 10 to 20nm.
