“…The increase in heterocyst frequency is directly related to nitrogenase, chlorophyllase and other protein contents of cyanobacterial growth [27]. The common changes occurring during the heterocyst formation include production of three additional cell walls, increase in production of nitrogenase and other proteins involved in nitrogen fixation [27]. Hence, an increase in the amount of nano molybdenum increased the protein content.…”

“…As the concentration of nano molybdenum increased, the protein content also increased due to the increase in heterocyst frequency. The increase in heterocyst frequency is directly related to nitrogenase, chlorophyllase and other protein contents of cyanobacterial growth [27]. The common changes occurring during the heterocyst formation include production of three additional cell walls, increase in production of nitrogenase and other proteins involved in nitrogen fixation [27].…”

“…Earlier, the influence of nano nutrients such as both nano iron and nano molybdenum on heterocyst forming cyanobacteria is observed [27]. These findings prompted us to investigate the effect of individual metal ions, especially nano molybdenum on heterocyst forming cyanobacteria.…”

“…Molybdenum nanocrystals are used in coatings, plastics, textiles, alloys and catalytic applications [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. They act as nutrients in the agricultural field, as enzyme catalyst and raw materials for cyanobacterial growth [27]. Overall, molybdenum nanoparticles provide greater efficiency than bulk molybdenum particles.…”

This study reports on a facile and economical synthetic method to prepare nano molybdenum by solid-state reaction technique. Metallic nano molybdenum was synthesised from molybdenum trioxide, molybdenum IV oxide and molybdenum VI oxide through thermal decomposition technique. Metallic nano molybdenum prepared from molybdenum IV oxide was used to study the catalytic effect of molybdenum nanoparticles on the growth of Anabaena sp. The increase in concentration of nano molybdenum from 0.1 to 100% in BG11 (N⁻ Mo⁻ + nano Mo) medium increases heterocyst frequency. The chlorophyll and protein content in Anabaena sp. was found to improve when compared with bulk molybdenum particles and showed a positive influence to be used as a nano nutrient for Anabaena sp.

Nephelium lappaceum L. peels was effectively used for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles as a natural ligation agent. The role of rambutan extrac on the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles was confirmed employing HPLC and GC-MS studies. The XRD and TEM revealed the crystallinity and spherical morphology of the biosynthesized nanoparticles. The size of the particles was found to be 20 nm as deduced from XRD and TEM analysis.
