“…Nanotechnologyintegrating the areas of science and technologygenerally refers to the processing, separation, consolidation and deformation of materials by an atom or molecule [5]. As nanotechnology is expanding to several commercial fields, there is a need of ecofriendly and energy-efficient methods for the synthesis of its products having dimensions of 1 to 100 nm, named nanomaterials, or nanoparticles (NPs) [5].…”

“…Algae have become a central focus of bioeconomy and biotechnology in particular due to their countless applications starting from food and pharmaceuticals to biofuels [2][3][4]. Currently algae are considered crucial organisms of advancing nanotechnology [5]. Most biotechnological and nanotechnological studies are oriented towards fast-replicating unicellular microalgae or large seaweeds [2,[5][6][7][8][9].…”

Most biotechnological and nanotechnological studies are oriented towards fast-replicating unicellular microalgae or large seaweeds [2,[5][6][7][8][9]. Less attention has been paid to the group of medium-sized filamentous algae, whichdespite their microscopical dimensionsbecome well-visible when developing in mats or crusts.…”

This review provides data on the possibilities for commercial use of algae of the green streptophyte genus Klebsormidium. It is one of the basal algal progenitors of land plants and shows many mechanisms and features which allow its adaptation to different environmental stresses associated with land colonization. This has led to formation of structures and compounds with countless possible applications in biotechnology and nanotechnology, starting from food to pharmaceuticals and biofuels. Therefore, the present work aims to provide: (1) a review on this yet neglected topic for the first time; (2) reliable identification using the polyphasic taxonomic approach of three local Klebsormidium strains isolated from soils of two protected areas in Bulgaria (Kresnendko Defile and National park Rila). It also outlines the cultivation advantages of Klebsormidium broad tolerance to harsh conditions and its reproductive features (easy disintegration and possibility to produce resting stages). The possibility to use inoculum of akinetes in soil algalization as biofertilizers is proposed. The results from standard microscopical identification and molecular data (ITS and rbcL, used separately and in combination), combined in the applied polyphasic approach led to distinguishing between geographically distinct strains collected at different altitudes. After identification of two strains (ACUS 00001 and ACUS 00014) as belonging to Klebsormidium dissectum and of ACUS 00207 as belonging to Klebsormidium klebsii, the similarity of the latter taxon with K. nitens is discussed.

“…Till now, for the biosynthesis of metallic NPs, different group of algae have been used such as Chlorophyceae, Phaeophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and others (diatoms and euglenoids) (Sharma et al, 2015). The ability of algae to accumulate metals and reduce metal ions makes them the superior contender for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles.…”

“…Therefore, engaging various organisms, such as bacteria, fungi [21] and algae [22][23][24] to plants [25], is an interesting alternative to the chemical and physical methods of producing metal nanoparticles (MeNPs). This is because biological processes are relatively cheap, environmentally friendly, easy to prepare and less toxic.…”

Formation of Variously Shaped Gold Nanoparticles by Anabaena laxa

Anew aspect of this study is the biocatalysis ability of Anabaena laxafresh-water strain-which to date has not been studied with respect to the formation of gold nanoparticles. The results of our study have shown that A. laxa is able to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at good yields within 24 h of incubation at all three tested concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mM) of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III). After 24 h, nanoparticles were mostly localized in the growth medium, which significantly facilitates their isolation. However, the elongation of this process is accompanied by their concentration in the exopolysaccharide (EPS) layer of the cyanobacterial cells. There is a correlation between the initial concentration of the Au 3? cations and the formation of AuNPs of various shapes and a size. The comparison of activities of living and deactivated cells indicated that AuNPs were formed more efficiently when metabolically active cyanobacteria were used.
