“…Beside, the physicochemical approaches, such as, microwave-assisted synthesis, hydrothermal, and electrodeposition methods (12) developed for the production of the nanostructures, the biosynthesis of NPs has been introduced as a safe, clean, non-toxic, and environmental-friendly methods (13,14). Some microorganisms such as Rhodobacter capsulatus (15), Acinetobacter haemolyticus (5), and Bacillus selenitireducens (16) have excellent capability in converting metalloid ions like tellurium into nanoparticles.…”

Background: Recent theranostic (therapeutic or diagnostic) applications of tellurium nanoparticles have attracted a great interest for development of diff erent methods for synthesis of this valuable nanostructure, especially via biological resources. Objectives: In the present study, the antimicrobial and antioxidant eff ects of the tellurium nanorods (Te NRs) biosynthesized by a bacterial strain Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes strain Te were evaluated. Materials and Methods:The antimicrobial eff ect of Te NRs and potassium tellurite against diff erent bacterial and fungal pathogens was assessed by microdilution method. Furthermore, the disk diff usion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial eff ect of the biogenic Te NRs and potassium tellurite against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, alone or in combination with various antibiotics. Also, the biogenic Te NRs were investigated for antioxidant activity using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and reducing power assay. Results: Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the purifi ed Te NRs showed individual and rod-shaped nanostructure (~22 nm diameter by 185 nm in length). Based on the data obtained from both microdilution and disk diff usion method the K 2 TeO 3 exhibited a higher antibacterial and antifungal activity compared to the Te NRs. The measured IC 50 for the biogenic Te NRs (i.e. DPPH radical scavenging activity) was found to be 24.9 μg.mL -1 , while, K 2 TeO 3 has represented only 17.6 ± 0.8 % DPPH radical scavenging eff ect at the concentration of 160 μg.mL -1 . The reducing power assay revealed a higher electron-donating activity for Te NRs compared to K 2 TeO 3 . Conclusions: Based on the data obtained from both microdilution and disk diff usion method the K 2 TeO 3 exhibited a higher antimicrobial and antifungal activity than Te NRs. Te NRs didn't show the antibacterial eff ect against the tested bacterial strain: MRSA and showed an inhibitory eff ect and antibacterial activity of the eff ective antibiotics. However, more studies should be performed to explore the action mechanism of the produced biogenic Te NRs.

In recent years, metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have been produced by biological methods using bacteria and have been used with remarkable environmental applications. This paper emphasizes the basic aspects of microbial synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, from the selection of the strain to the settings of reaction parameters. Mechanisms involved in the microbial production of NPs are also discussed, summarizing general findings and implications in the process. There is also a section dedicated to the identification of wastes as a source of precious metals and the production of metallic NPs from waste streams containing ionic metals to give a vision of the opportunities to implement microbial synthesis as a treatment–recovery technology. Environmental applications of biogenic NPs are reviewed in detail indicating that the implementation of these nanomaterials enable the achievement of higher removal efficiencies and greater extent of transformation of recalcitrant compounds in wastewater treatment systems. Under this scenario and based on the information reviewed concluding remarks and futures perspectives are enunciated. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

Conformational and functional variants of CD44-targeted protein nanoparticles bio-produced in bacteria

Biofabrication is gaining interest as a mean to produce nanostructured functional materials because of its operational versatility and full scalability. Materials based on proteins are especially appealing as protein structure and functionality are adaptable by genetic engineering. Furthermore, strategies and tools for protein production have been steadily developed and refined for more than 30 years. However, protein conformation and therefore activity might be sensitive to production conditions. We have explored here whether the downstream strategy influences structure and biological activities, in vitro and in vivo, of a self-assembling, CD44-targeted proteinonly nanoparticle produced in Escherichia coli. This has been done by the comparative analysis of particles built of soluble protein species or protein versions obtained by in vitro protein extraction from inclusion bodies, through mild, non-denaturing procedures.These methods have been recently developed as a convenient alternative to the use of toxic chaotropic agents for protein resolubilization from protein aggregates. The results indicate substantial differences in the physicochemical properties as well as in the biological performance at the systems level of the resulting material, whose building blocks show to be sensitive to the particular protein source.
