Ge M, Zhou S, Li D, Song D, Yang S, Xu M. Reduction of selenite to selenium nanoparticles by highly selenite-tolerant bacteria isolated from seleniferous soil. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 472:134491. [PMID: 38703686 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
The microbial reduction of selenite to elemental selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) is thought to be an effective detoxification process of selenite for many bacteria. In this study, Metasolibacillus sp. ES129 and Oceanobacillus sp. ES111 with high selenite reduction efficiency or tolerance were selected for systematic and comparative studies on their performance in selenite removal and valuable SeNPs recovery. The kinetic monitoring of selenite reduction showed that the highest transformation efficiency of selenite to SeNPs was achieved at a concentration of 4.24 mM for ES129 and 4.88 mM for ES111. Ultramicroscopic analysis suggested that the SeNPs produced by ES111 and ES129 had been formed in cytoplasm and subsequently released to extracellular space through cell lysis process. Furthermore, the transcriptome analysis indicated that the expression of genes involved in bacillithiol biosynthesis, selenocompound metabolism and proline metabolism were significantly up-regulated during selenite reduction, suggesting that the transformation of selenite to Se0 may involve multiple pathways. Besides, the up-regulation of genes associated with nucleotide excision repair and antioxidation-related enzymes may enhance the tolerance of bacteria to selenite. Generally, the exploration of selenite reduction and tolerance mechanisms of the highly selenite-tolerant bacteria is of great significance for the effective utilization of microorganisms for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The conjugated silver nanoparticles using biomolecules have attracted great attention of researchers because physical dimensions and surface chemistry play important roles in toxicity and biocompatibility of AgNPs. Hence, in the current study, synthesis of bio-conjugated AgNPs with protein protease inhibitor (PI) isolated from Streptomyces spp. is reported. UV-visible spectra of PI and AgNPs showed stronger peaks at 280 and 405 nm, confirming the synthesis of conjugated AgNPs-PI. TEM and SEM images of AgNPs-PI showed spherical-shaped nanoparticles with a slight increase in particle size and thin amorphous layer around the surface of silver nanomaterial. Circular dichroism, FT-IR and fluorescence spectral studies confirmed AgNPs-PI conjugation. Conjugated AgNPs-PI showed excellent anticancer potential than AgNPs and protease inhibitor separately on human breast MCF-7 and prostate PC-3 cell lines. The findings revealed that surface modification of AgNPs with protein protease inhibitor stabilised the nanomaterial and increased its anticancer activity.

Abstract
Microorganisms play a critical role in the biogeochemical cycling of selenium, often reducing selenite/selenate to elemental selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). These SeNPs typically exist in an amorphous structure but can transform into a trigonal allotrope. However, the crystal structural transition process and its impact on selenium bioavailability have not been well studied. To shed light on this, we prepared chemosynthetic and biogenic SeNPs and investigated the stability of their crystal structure. We found that biogenic SeNPs exhibited a highly stable amorphous structure in various conditions, such as lyophilization, washing, and laser irradiation, whereas chemosynthetic SeNPs transformed into a trigonal structure in the same conditions. Additionally, a core-shell structure was observed in biogenic SeNPs after electron beam irradiation. Further analysis revealed that biogenic SeNPs showed a coordination reaction between Se atoms and surface binding biomacromolecules, indicating that the outer layer of Se-biomacromolecules complex prevented the SeNPs from crystallizing. We also investigated the effects of SeNPs crystal structures on the bioavailability in bacteria, yeast, and plants, finding that the amorphous structure of SeNPs determined Se bioavailability.

J Invertebr Pathol 2024; 203:108045.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are successful due to their numerous applications in various domains such as cancer treatment, environmental applications, drug and gene delivery. Selenium is a metalloid element with broad biological activities and low toxicity especially at the nanoscale. Several studies have shown that nanoparticles synthesized from microbial and plant extracts are effective against important pests and pathogens. This study describes the bio fabrication of selenium nanoparticles using cell free extract of Xenorhabdus cabanillasii (XC-SeNPs) and assessed their mosquito larvicidal properties. Crystallographic structure and size of XC-SeNPs were determined with UV-a spectrophotometer, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Zeta potential and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The significant surface plasmon resonance at 275 nm indicated the synthesis of XC-SeNPs from the pure cell-free extract of X. cabanillasii. The XRD result exhibits the crystalline nature of XC-SeNPs. The Zeta potential analysis confirmed that the surface charge of XC-SeNPs was -24.17 mV. TEM analysis revealed that synthesized XC-SeNPs were monodispersed, spherically shaped, and sized about 80-200 nm range. In addition, the larvicidal potentials of the bio-fabricated XC-SeNPs were assessed against the 4th-instar Ae. aegypti. XC-SeNPs displayed a dose-dependent larvicidal effect; the larval mortality was 13.3 % at the minimum evaluated concentration and increased to 72 % at higher dose treatments. The LC50 and LC90 concentration of XC-SeNPs against mosquito larvae were 79.4 and 722.4 ppm, respectively.

Abstract
Globally cultivated cereals are frequently threatened by various plant pathogenic agents such as Fusarium fungi. To combat these pathogens, researchers have made nanoparticles as potential agricultural pesticides. In this study, selenium and titanium dioxide NPs were synthesized using Trichoderma harzianum metabolites. Characterization of the NPs indicated varying size and shapes of both NPs and functional groups existence to constitute both NPs. The evaluation of antifungal activity of NPs against plant pathogenic fungi, Fusarium culmorum, indicated both NPs maximum antifungal activity at concentration of 100 mg/L. The impacts of nanoparticles on some beneficial plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) were evaluated and showed their inhibition effect on optical density of PGPB at a concentration of 100 mg/L but they did not have any impact on nitrogen fixation by bacteria. Existence of TiO2NPs reduced the intensity of color change to pink compared to the control indicating auxin production. Both NPs demonstrated different impact on phosphate solubilization index. This study suggests that the synthesized nanoparticles have the potential to serve as antifungal compounds at special concentration against plant diseases without significantly reducing the potential of PGPB at low concentrations.

Abstract
To treat the systemic infections caused by Candida albicans (C. albicans), various drugs have been used, however, infections still persisted due to virulence factors and increasing antifungal resistance. As a solution to this problem, we synthesized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) by using Bacillus cereus bacteria. This is the first study to report a higher (70 %) reduction of selenite ions into SeNPs in under 6 h. The as-synthesized, biogenic SeNPs were used to deliver bioactive constituents of aqueous extract of ginger for inhibiting the growth and biofilm (virulence factors) in C. albicans. UV-visible spectroscopy revealed a characteristic absorption at 280 nm, and Raman spectroscopy showed a characteristic peak shift at 253 cm-1 for the biogenic SeNPs. The synthesized SeNPs are spherical with 240-250 nm in size as determined by electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the functionalization of antifungal constituents of ginger over the SeNPs (formation of Ginger@SeNPs nanoconjugates). In contrast to biogenic SeNPs, nanoconjugates were active against C. albicans for inhibiting growth and biofilm formation. In order to reveal antifungal mechanism of nanoconjugates', real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed, according to RT-PCR analysis, the nanoconjugates target virulence genes involved in C. albicans hyphae and biofilm formation. Nanoconjugates inhibited 25 % growth of human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cell line, indicating moderate cytotoxicity of active nanoconjugates in an in-vitro cytotoxicity study. Therefore, biogenic SeNPs conjugated with ginger dietary extract may be a potential antifungal agent and drug carrier for inhibiting C. albicans growth and biofilm formation.

Abstract
Climate change and increasing population pressure have put the agriculture sector in an arduous situation. With increasing demand for agricultural production overuse of inputs have accentuated the negative impact on environment. Hence, sustainable agriculture is gaining prominence in recent times with an emphasis on judicious and optimum use of resources. The field of nanotechnology can immensely help in achieving sustainability in agriculture at various levels. Use of nutrients and plant protection chemicals in nano-form can increase their efficacy even at reduced doses thus decreasing their pernicious impact. Seed priming is one of the important agronomic practices with widely reported positive impacts on germination, seedling growth and pathogen resistance. In the current study, the effect and efficacy of selenium nanoparticles synthesized using phyto-extracts as a seed priming agent is studied. This nanopriming enhanced the germination, hastened the seedling emergence and growth with an increase in seedling vigour and nutrient status. This eco-friendly and economical method of synthesizing nanoparticles of various nutrient minerals can optimize the resource use thus helping in sustainable agriculture by reducing environment damage without compromising on efficacy.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a momentous metallic element that plays an irreplaceable role in biochemical activities. Se deficiency remains a nutritional challenge across the world. Organic Se supplementation is the most effective treatment means for Se deficiency. Organic Se transformed from Se-enriched probiotics show outstanding excellent properties in antibacteria, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and immunoregulation. Studying the influencing factors for Se enrichment capacity and enrichment mechanisms of Se-enriched probiotics is conducive to the exploit of more potent Se-enriched probiotics. Se-enriched probiotics transform inorganic Se into Se nanoparticles (SeNPs), which have been widely used in animal husbandry and biomedical field. In this paper, the novel development of Se-enriched probiotics is reviewed, and the bioactivities of SeNPs are assessed, so as to display their potential application prospects. The excellent role of SeNPs in anti-oxidation is summarized, and the mechanism by which SeNPs improve Se deficiency and boost animal health is explained.

The biological reduction of selenite (Se(iv)) or tellurite (Te(iv)) to Se0 or Te0 has received increasing attention, as related studies have favored the development of Se/Te pollution control methods. In the presence of the electron donor, the microbes acquired energy and transferred electrons to Se(iv) or Te(iv) to achieve their detoxication. However, the microbial electron transfer pathways involved in this process are still not fully understood. In this study, we reported that marine Shewanella sp. FDL-2 (FDL-2) was capable of reducing Se(iv) and Te(iv) through a novel riboflavin-involved pathway. The results showed that FDL-2 can effectively reduce 10 mM Se(iv) and 5 mM Te(iv) to Se0 and Te0, which was further confirmed by XPS and XRD analyses. RT-qPCR results indicate the upregulation of genes coding flavin-related proteins, and the production of flavin-related substances by strain FDL-2 during Se(iv)/Te(iv) bioreduction was proven by fluorescence chromatography analysis. In addition, the presence of riboflavin enhanced the electron transfer efficiency, indicating its promoting effect on the bioreduction of Se(iv)/Te(iv). Overall, our results highlight a riboflavin-involved electron transfer pathway during Se(iv)/Te(iv) bioreduction and thus deepen our understanding of the corresponding mechanism.

Abstract
Selenium is a trace element required for the active function of numerous enzymes and various physiological processes. In recent years, selenium nanoparticles draw the attention of scientists and researchers because of its multifaceted uses. The process involved in chemically synthesized SeNPs has been found to be hazardous in nature, which has paved the way for safe and ecofriendly SeNPs to be developed in order to achieve sustainability. In comparison to chemical synthesis, SeNPs can be synthesized more safely and with greater flexibility utilizing bacteria, fungi, and plants. This review focused on the synthesis of SeNPs utilizing bacteria, fungi, and plants; the mechanisms involved in SeNP synthesis; and the effect of various abiotic factors on SeNP synthesis and morphological characteristics. This article discusses the synergies of SeNP synthesis via biological routes, which can help future researchers to synthesize SeNPs with more precision and employ them in desired fields.

Abstract
Environmental bacterial isolates play a very important role in bioremediation of metals and toxic metalloids. A bacterial strain with high selenite (SeO32-) tolerance and reducing capability was isolated from electronic waste dump site in Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Based on 16 S rRNA sequencing and BLAST search, this bacterial isolate was identified as Bacillus paramycoides and designated as strain MF-14. It tolerated Sodium selenite up to 110 mM when grown aerobically in LB broth and reduced selenite into elemental selenium (Se0) significantly within 24 h with concomitant biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles as clearly revealed by brick red precipitate and specific surface plasmon resonance peak at 210 nm using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of this bacterial strain exposed to 1mM and 5 mM selenite also demonstrated morphological alterations as cell enlargement due to accumulation and bioprecipitation of elemental selenium (Se0). The FTIR analysis clearly demonstrated that functional groups present on the surface of biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) play a significant role in the stabilization and capping of SeNPs. Furthermore, these SeNPs were characterized using spectroscopic analysis involving Dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, XPS, FTIR, XRD and Raman spectroscopy which clearly revealed particle size 10-700 nm, amorphous nature, stability as well as it's oxidation state. The biochemical studies have demonstrated that membrane bound reductase enzyme may be responsible for significant reduction of selenite into elemental selenium. Therefore, we may employ Bacillus paramycoides strain MF-14 successfully for bioremediation of selenite contaminated environmental sites with concomitant green synthesis of SeNPs.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is both a micronutrient required for most life and an element of environmental concern due to its toxicity at high concentrations, and both bioavailability and toxicity are largely influenced by the Se oxidation state. Environmentally relevant fungi have been shown to aerobically reduce Se(IV) and Se(VI), the generally more toxic and bioavailable Se forms. The goal of this study was to shed light on fungal Se(IV) reduction pathways and biotransformation products over time and fungal growth stages. Two Ascomycete fungi were grown with moderate (0.1 mM) and high (0.5 mM) Se(IV) concentrations in batch culture over 1 month. Fungal growth was measured throughout the experiments, and aqueous and biomass-associated Se was quantified and speciated using analytical geochemistry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) approaches. The results show that Se transformation products were largely Se(0) nanoparticles, with a smaller proportion of volatile, methylated Se compounds and Se-containing amino acids. Interestingly, the relative proportions of these products were consistent throughout all fungal growth stages, and the products appeared stable over time even as growth and Se(IV) concentration declined. This time-series experiment showing different biotransformation products throughout the different growth phases suggests that multiple mechanisms are responsible for Se detoxification, but some of these mechanisms might be independent of Se presence and serve other cellular functions. Knowing and predicting fungal Se transformation products has important implications for environmental and biological health as well as for biotechnology applications such as bioremediation, nanobiosensors, and chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The advancement in nanotechnology has enabled a significant expansion in agricultural production. Agri-nanotechnology is an emerging discipline where nanotechnological methods provide diverse nanomaterials (NMs) such as nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, nanofertilizers and different nanoforms of agrochemicals for agricultural management. Applications of nanofabricated products can potentially improve the shelf life, stability, bioavailability, safety and environmental sustainability of active ingredients for sustained release. Nanoscale modification of bulk or surface properties bears tremendous potential for effective enhancement of agricultural productivity. As NMs improve the tolerance mechanisms of the plants under stressful conditions, they are considered as effective and promising tools to overcome the constraints in sustainable agricultural production. For their exceptional qualities and usages, nano-enabled products are developed and enforced, along with agriculture, in diverse sectors. The rampant usage of NMs increases their release into the environment. Once incorporated into the environment, NMs may threaten the stability and function of biological systems. Nanotechnology is a newly emerging technology, so the evaluation of the associated environmental risk is pivotal. This review emphasizes the current approach to NMs synthesis, their application in agriculture, interaction with plant-soil microbes and environmental challenges to address future applications in maintaining a sustainable environment.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130557.

Abstract
Selenium, 79Se, is one of the most critical radionuclides in radioactive waste disposed in future deep geological repositories (DGRs). Here, we investigate the impact of bentonite microbial communities on the allotropic transformation of Se(IV) bioreduction products under DGR relevant conditions. In addition, Se amendment-dependent shifts in the bentonite microbial populations are assessed. Microcosms of water-saturated bentonites were spiked with a bacterial consortium, treated with selenite and incubated anaerobically for six months. A combination of X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy, and Raman Spectroscopy was used to track the allotropic changes of the Se bioreduction products. Interestingly, the color of bentonite shifted from orange to black in the selenite-treated microcosms. In the orange layers, amorphous or monoclinic Se(0) were identified, whilst black precipitates consisted of stable trigonal Se(0) form. Illumina DNA sequencing indicated the distribution of strains with Se(IV) reducing and Se(0) allotropic biotransformation potential, like Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Desulfosporosinus, and unclassified-Desulfuromonadaceae. The archaea Methanosarcina decreased its abundance in the presence of Se(IV), probably caused by this oxyanion toxicity. These findings provide an understanding of the bentonite microbial strategies involved in the immobilization of Se(IV) by reduction processes, and prove their implication in the allotropic biotransformation from amorphous to trigonal Se(0) under DGR relevant conditions.

Antifungal Properties of Biogenic Selenium Nanoparticles Functionalized with Nystatin for the Inhibition of Candida albicans Biofilm Formation. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041836.

Abstract
In the present study, biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been prepared using Paenibacillus terreus and functionalized with nystatin (SeNP@PVP_Nystatin nanoconjugates) for inhibiting growth, morphogenesis, and a biofilm in Candida albicans. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy analysis has shown a characteristic absorption at 289, 303, and 318 nm, and X-ray diffraction analysis has shown characteristic peaks at different 2θ values for SeNPs. Electron microscopy analysis has shown that biogenic SeNPs are spherical in shape with a size in the range of 220-240 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has confirmed the functionalization of nystatin on SeNPs (formation of SeNP@PVP_Nystatin nanoconjugates), and the zeta potential has confirmed the negative charge on the nanoconjugates. Biogenic SeNPs are inactive; however, nanoconjugates have shown antifungal activities on C. albicans (inhibited growth, morphogenesis, and a biofilm). The molecular mechanism for the action of nanoconjugates via a real-time polymerase chain reaction has shown that genes involved in the RAS/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway play an important role in antifungal activity. In cytotoxic studies, nanoconjugates have inhibited only 12% growth of the human embryonic kidney cell line 293 cells, indicating that the nanocomposites are not cytotoxic. Thus, the biogenic SeNPs produced by P. terreus can be used as innovative and effective drug carriers to increase the antifungal activity of nystatin.

Abstract
In order to improve the functionality and additional value of agricultural products, this study developing nano-selenium fermentation broth and established a new application strategy of bio-nano-selenium by screening and identifying selenium-rich microorganisms. We isolated a new strain from tobacco waste and named it Bacillus subtilis SE201412 (GenBank accession no. OP854680), which could aerobically grow under the condition of 66,000 mg L-1 selenite concentration, and could convert 99.19% of selenite into biological nano-selenium (BioSeNPs) within 18 h. Using strain SE201412, we industrially produced the different concentrations of fermentation broth containing 5000-3000 mg L-1 pure selenium for commercial use. The synthesized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). TEM and SEM results showed that SeNPs were distributed outside cells. NTA assay of fermentation broth indicated that the nanoparticles were spherical with an average particle size of 126 ± 0.5 nm. Toxicity test revealed that the median lethal dose (LD50) of the fermentation broth to mice was 2710 mg kg-1, indicating its low toxicity and high safety. In addition, we applied BioSeNP fermentation broth to rice and wheat through field experiments. The results showed that the application of fermentation broth significantly increased the total selenium content and organic selenium percentage in rice and wheat grains. Our findings provide valuable reference for the development of BioSeNPs with extensive application prospects.

Abstract
Nowadays, metal pollution due to the huge release of toxic elements to the environment has become one of the world's biggest problems. Bioremediation is a promising tool for reducing the mobility and toxicity of these contaminants (e.g. selenium), being an efficient, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive strategy. The present study describes the capacity of Stenotrophomonas bentonitica to biotransform SeVI through enzymatic reduction and volatilization processes. HAADF-STEM analysis showed the bacterium to effectively reduce SeVI (200 mM) into intra- and extracellular crystalline Se0 nanorods, made mainly of two different Se allotropes: monoclinic (m-Se) and trigonal (t-Se). XAS analysis appears to indicate a Se crystallization process based on the biotransformation of amorphous Se0 into stable t-Se nanorods. In addition, results from headspace analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectometry (GC-MS) revealed the formation of methylated volatile Se species such as DMSe (dimethyl selenide), DMDSe (dimethyl diselenide), and DMSeS (dimethyl selenenyl sulphide). The biotransformation pathways and tolerance are remarkably different from those reported with this bacterium in the presence of SeIV. The formation of crystalline Se0 nanorods could have positive environmental implications (e.g. bioremediation) through the production of Se of lower toxicity and higher settleability with potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Selenium is an important dietary supplement and an essential trace element incorporated into selenoproteins with growth-modulating properties and cytotoxic mechanisms of action. However, different compounds of selenium usually possess a narrow nutritional or therapeutic window with a low degree of absorption and delicate safety margins, depending on the dose and the chemical form in which they are provided to the organism. Hence, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are emerging as a novel therapeutic and diagnostic platform with decreased toxicity and the capacity to enhance the biological properties of Se-based compounds. Consistent with the exciting possibilities offered by nanotechnology in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, SeNPs are useful tools in current biomedical research with exceptional benefits as potential therapeutics, with enhanced bioavailability, improved targeting, and effectiveness against oxidative stress and inflammation-mediated disorders. In view of the need for developing eco-friendly, inexpensive, simple, and high-throughput biomedical agents that can also ally with theranostic purposes and exhibit negligible side effects, biogenic SeNPs are receiving special attention. The present manuscript aims to be a reference in its kind by providing the readership with a thorough and comprehensive review that emphasizes the current, yet expanding, possibilities offered by biogenic SeNPs in the biomedical field and the promise they hold among selenium-derived products to, eventually, elicit future developments. First, the present review recalls the physiological importance of selenium as an oligo-element and introduces the unique biological, physicochemical, optoelectronic, and catalytic properties of Se nanomaterials. Then, it addresses the significance of nanosizing on pharmacological activity (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics) and cellular interactions of SeNPs. Importantly, it discusses in detail the role of biosynthesized SeNPs as innovative theranostic agents for personalized nanomedicine-based therapies. Finally, this review explores the role of biogenic SeNPs in the ongoing context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and presents key prospects in translational nanomedicine.

Abstract
Elemental selenium nanosphere is considered to exhibit high bioavailability compared to its salts. In this study, a Se(IV)-resistant Lactobacillus paralimentarius strain JZ07 with great selenium biotransformation ability was screened and the red elemental selenium biosynthesized by it was characterized. The results indicated that Se(0) occurred as major accumulated species and the S atom content of the cells increased significantly in the presence of selenite. The reduced amorphous selenium nanospheres (150 to 300 nm in diameter) deposited in the extracellular space of JZ07 and the cells exhibited altered morphology under selenium stress. The macromolecules containing carboxylate bands and amide groups played an important role in Se(IV) bioaccumulation. The findings of present study indicate that JZ07 can be a promising SeNPs producing probiotic LAB and has the potential to be explored as an alternative source of Se supplements for human or animal consumption.

Abstract
The unique chemical and physical features of nanomaterials make them ideal for developing new and better sensing devices, particularly biosensors. Various types of nanoparticles, including metal, oxide, and semiconductor nanostructures, have been utilized to manufacture biosensors, and each kind of nanoparticle plays a unique role in the sensing system. Nanoparticles provide critical roles such as immobilizing biomolecules, catalyzing electrochemical processes, enhancing electron transport between electrode surfaces and proteins, identifying biomolecules, and even functioning as the reactant for the catalytic reaction. Among all the potential nanosystems to be used in biosensors, selenium nanoparticle (SeNP) features have sparked a growing interest in their use in bridging biological recognition events and signal transduction, as well as in developing biosensing devices with novel applications for identification, quantification, and study of different analytes of biological relevance. The optical, physical, and chemical characteristics of differently shaped SeNPs opened up a world of possibilities for developing biosensors of biomedical interest. The outstanding biocompatibility, conductivity, catalytic characteristics, high surface-to-volume ratio, and high density of SeNPs have enabled their widespread use in developing electrochemical biosensors with superior analytical performance compared to other designs of biosensors. This review summarizes recent and ongoing advances, current challenges, and future research perspectives on real-world applications of Se-based nanobiosensors to detect biologically relevant analytes such as hydrogen peroxide, heavy metals, or glucose. Due to the superior properties and multifunctionality of Se-NPs biosensors, these structures can open up considerable new horizons in the future of healthcare and medicine.

Biogenic Selenium Nanoparticles and Their Anticancer Effects Pertaining to Probiotic Bacteria—A Review. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11101916.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) can be produced by biogenic, physical, and chemical processes. The physical and chemical processes have hazardous effects. However, biogenic synthesis (by microorganisms) is an eco-friendly and economical technique that is non-toxic to human and animal health. The mechanism for biogenic SeNPs from microorganisms is still not well understood. Over the past two decades, extensive research has been conducted on the nutritional and therapeutic applications of biogenic SeNPs. The research revealed that biogenic SeNPs are considered novel competitors in the pharmaceutical and food industries, as they have been shown to be virtually non-toxic when used in medical practice and as dietary supplements and release only trace amounts of Se ions when ingested. Various pathogenic and probiotic/nonpathogenic bacteria are used for the biogenic synthesis of SeNPs. However, in the case of biosynthesis by pathogenic bacteria, extraction and purification techniques are required for further useful applications of these biogenic SeNPs. This review focuses on the applications of SeNPs (derived from probiotic/nonpathogenic organisms) as promising anticancer agents. This review describes that SeNPs derived from probiotic/nonpathogenic organisms are considered safe for human consumption. These biogenic SeNPs reduce oxidative stress in the human body and have also been shown to be effective against breast, prostate, lung, liver, and colon cancers. This review provides helpful information on the safe use of biogenic SeNPs and their economic importance for dietary and therapeutic purposes, especially as anticancer agents.

Abstract
Selenium (SeNPs) and tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) were synthesized by green technology using the three new bacterial marine isolates (strains PL 2476, AF 2469 and G 2451). Isolates were classified as Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis according to 16S rRNA sequence analysis, morphological characteristics, and biochemical reactions. The bioreduction processes of isolates were studied in comparison with the previously described Alteromonas macleodii (strain 2328). All strains exhibited significant tolerance to selenite and tellurite up to 1000 µg/mL. A comparative analysis of the bioreduction processes of the isolates demonstrated that the strains have a high rate of reduction processes. Characterization of biogenic red SeNPs and black TeNPs using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDX analysis, Dynamic Light Scattering, and micro-Raman Spectroscopy revealed that all the isolates form stable spherical selenium and tellurium nanoparticles whose size as well as elemental composition depend on the producer strain. Nanoparticles of the smallest size (up to 100 nm) were observed only for strain PL 2476. Biogenic SeNPs and TeNPs were also characterized and tested for their antimicrobial, antifouling and cytotoxic activities. Significant antimicrobial activity was shown for nanoparticles at relatively high concentrations (500 and 1000 µg/mL), with the antimicrobial activity of TeNPs being more significant than SeNPs. In contrast, against cell cultures (breast cancer cells (SkBr3) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) SeNPs showed greater toxicity than tellurium nanoparticles. Studies have demonstrated the high antifouling effectiveness of selenium and tellurium nanoparticles when introduced into self-polishing coatings. According to the results obtained, the use of SeNPs and TeNPs as antifouling additives can reduce the concentration of leachable biocides used in coatings, reducing the pressure on the environment.

Enhancing the Activity of Carboxymethyl Cellulase Enzyme Using Highly Stable Selenium Nanoparticles Biosynthesized by Bacillus paralicheniformis Y4. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144585.

Abstract
The inorganic selenium is absorbed and utilized inefficiently, and the range between toxicity and demand is narrow, so the application is strictly limited. Selenium nanoparticles have higher bioactivity and biosafety properties, including increased antioxidant and anticancer properties. Thus, producing and applying eco-friendly, non-toxic selenium nanoparticles in feed additives is crucial. Bacillus paralicheniformis Y4 was investigated for its potential ability to produce selenium nanoparticles and the activity of carboxymethyl cellulases. The selenium nanoparticles were characterized using zeta potential analyses, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Additionally, evaluations of the anti-α-glucosidase activity and the antioxidant activity of the selenium nanoparticles and the ethyl acetate extracts of Y4 were conducted. B. paralicheniformis Y4 exhibited high selenite tolerance of 400 mM and the selenium nanoparticles had an average particle size of 80 nm with a zeta potential value of −35.8 mV at a pH of 7.0, suggesting that the particles are relatively stable against aggregation. After 72 h of incubation with 5 mM selenite, B. paralicheniformis Y4 was able to reduce it by 76.4%, yielding red spherical bio-derived selenium nanoparticles and increasing the carboxymethyl cellulase activity by 1.49 times to 8.96 U/mL. For the first time, this study reports that the carboxymethyl cellulase activity of Bacillus paralicheniforis was greatly enhanced by selenite. The results also indicated that B. paralicheniformis Y4 could be capable of ecologically removing selenite from contaminated sites and has great potential for producing selenium nanoparticles as feed additives to enhance the added value of agricultural products.

Abstract
Biotransformation of toxic selenium ions to non-toxic species has been mainly focused on biofortification of microorganisms and production of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), while far less attention is paid to the mechanisms of transformation. In this study, we applied a combination of analytical techniques with the aim of characterizing the SeNPs themselves as well as monitoring the course of selenium transformation in the mycelium of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus. Red coloration and pungent odor that appeared after only a few hours of incubation with 10 mM Se+4 indicate the formation of SeNPs and volatile methylated selenium compounds. SEM-EDS confirmed pure selenium NPs with an average diameter of 57 nm, which indicates potentially very good medical, optical, and photoelectric characteristics. XANES of mycelium revealed concentration-dependent mechanisms of reduction, where 0.5 mM Se+4 led to the predominant formation of Se-S-containing organic molecules, while 10 mM Se+4 induced production of biomethylated selenide (Se-2) in the form of volatile dimethylselenide (DMSe) and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), with the SeNPs/DMSe ratio rising with incubation time. Several structural forms of elemental selenium, predominantly monoclinic Se8 chains, together with trigonal Se polymer chain, Se8 and Se6 ring structures, were detected by Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
Over the last few years, new nanoparticle preparation methods have emerged by replacing the usual reagents with plant extracts obtained in different conditions. An example of a natural plant extract is those of cruciferous vegetables, to obtain the new bio-nano-coatings. Given the composition of cruciferous extracts and large amounts of wastes produced all over the world, they can be successful substitutes to replace conventional coatings and extend the possibility of “smart coatings“. The present review aims to be a critical discussion regarding the application of cruciferous waste in nanotechnological applications. This review paper can be a starting report for different researchers who intend to use this sustainable approach “from green to nanotechnology” to transpose manufacturing from laboratory to industry. Applying this approach to obtain nanostructures with plant waste highlights the importance of minimizing and re-utilizing residues from primary and secondary processing via chemical and social intervention, in order to contribute to the sustainability needs of the planet and its inhabitants.

Abstract
Nowadays, nanoparticles (NPs) and nanomaterials (NMs) are used extensively in various streams such as medical science, solar energy, drug delivery, water treatment, and detection of persistent pollutants. Intensive synthesis of NPs/NMs carried out via physico-chemical technologies is deteriorating the environment globally. Therefore, an urgent need to adopt cost-effective and green technologies to synthesize NPs/NMs by recycling of secondary waste resources is highly required. Environmental wastes such as metallurgical slag, electronics (e-waste), and acid mine drainage (AMD) are rich sources of metals to produce NPs. This concept can remediate the environment on the one hand and the other hand, it can provide a future roadmap for economic benefits at industrial scale operations. The waste-derived NPs will reduce the industrial consumption of limited primary resources. In this review article, green emerging technologies involving lignocellulosic waste to synthesize the NPs from the waste streams and the role of potential microorganisms such as microalgae, fungi, yeast, bacteria for the synthesis of NPs have been discussed. A critical insight is also given on use of recycling technologies and the incorporation of NMs in the membrane bioreactors (MBRs) to improve membrane functioning and process performance. Finally, this study aims to mitigate various persisting scientific and technological challenges for the safe disposal and recycling of organic and inorganic waste for future use in the circular economy.

Abstract
This opinion review explores the microbiology of tellurite, TeO32− and selenite, SeO32− oxyanions, two similar Group 16 chalcogen elements, but with slightly different physicochemical properties that lead to intriguing biological differences. Selenium, Se, is a required trace element compared to tellurium, Te, which is not. Here, the challenges around understanding the uptake transport mechanisms of these anions, as reflected in the model organisms used by different groups, are described. This leads to a discussion around how these oxyanions are subsequently reduced to nanomaterials, which mechanistically, has controversies between ideas around the molecule chemistry, chemical reactions involving reduced glutathione and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production along with the bioenergetics at the membrane versus the cytoplasm. Of particular interest is the linkage of glutathione and thioredoxin chemistry from the cytoplasm through the membrane electron transport chain (ETC) system/quinones to the periplasm. Throughout the opinion review we identify open and unanswered questions about the microbial physiology under selenite and tellurite exposure. Thus, demonstrating how far we have come, yet the exciting research directions that are still possible. The review is written in a conversational manner from three long-term researchers in the field, through which to play homage to the late Professor Claudio Vásquez.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element with application in manufacturing from food to medical industries. Water contamination by Se is of concern due to anthropogenic activities. Recently, Se remediation has received increasing attention. Hence, different types of remediation techniques are listed in this work, and their potential for Se recovery is evaluated. Sorption, co-precipitation, coagulation and precipitation are effective for low-cost Se removal. In photocatalytic, zero-valent iron and electrochemical systems, the above mechanisms occur with reduction as an immobilization and detoxification process. In combination with magnetic separation, the above techniques are promising for Se recovery. Biological Se oxyanions reduction has been widely recognized as a cost-effective method for Se remediation, simultaneously generating biosynthetic Se nanoparticles (BioSeNPs). Increasing the extracellular production of BioSeNPs and controlling their morphology will benefit its recovery. However, the mechanism of the microbial production of BioSeNPs is not well understood. Se containing products from both microbial reduction and abiotic methods need to be refined to obtain pure Se. Eco-friendly and cost-effective Se refinery methods need to be developed. Overall, this review offers insight into the necessity of shifting attention from Se remediation to Se recovery.

Abstract
Selenium is a fundamental trace element of the living system. Microorganisms play
a crucial role in the selenium cycle, both in the environment and in life.
Biogenic selenium nanoparticles have shown promising prospects for use in
medicine as an antioxidant and anticancer agent. In this study, SeNPs were
biosynthesized by Penicillium citrinum. The spore suspension
which was previously prepared was exposed to different doses of gamma radiation
(10, 20, 30, 50, and 60 Gy). SeNPs were then produced by an irradiated P
citrinum. UV spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray
diffraction, and GSH content were assayed to evaluate the probability of
P citrinum synthesizing SeNPs. In conclusion, irradiation
of P citrinum by gamma ray enhances the mycosynthesis of
SeNPs.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element for humans, animals and microorganisms. Microbial transformations, in particular, selenium dissimilatory reduction and bioremediation applications have received increasing attention in recent years. This review focuses on multiple Se-reducing pathways under anaerobic and aerobic conditions, and the phylogenetic clustering of selenium reducing enzymes that are involved in these processes. It is emphasized that a selenium reductase may have more than one metabolic function, meanwhile, there are several Se(VI) and/or Se(IV) reduction pathways in a bacterial strain. It is noted that Se(IV)-reducing efficiency is inconsistent with Se(IV) resistance in bacteria. Moreover, we discussed the links of selenium transformations to biogeochemical cycling of other elements, roles of Se-reducing bacteria in soil, plant and digestion system, and the possibility of using functional genes involved in Se transformation as biomarker in different environments. In addition, we point out the gaps and perspectives both on Se transformation mechanisms and applications in terms of bioremediation, Se fortification or dietary supplementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present research was done to investigate the anticancer properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) fabricated using bioactive extract of Onopordum acanthium L. (AgNPs-OAL) against breast cancer cells MDA_MB231 in vitro. METHODS The determination studies of AgNPs-OAL were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis. Interestingly, the FESEM image observed the spherical shape of AgNPs-OAL with the range of 1-100 nm. RESULTS As AgNP-OAL exhibited significant cytotoxicity properties on breast cancer MDA_MB231 cells with IC50 values of 66.04 µg/mL, while lowing toxicity toward normal human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells with IC50 values of 101.04 µg/mL was evaluated. Further, up-regulation of apoptotic Bax and CAD gene expressions were confirmed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) technique results. Moreover, enhanced cell cycle population (sub-G1), annexin V/PI staining, acridine orange and ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining, Hoescht 33,258 dye, and generation of reactive oxygen species were observed in AgNP-OAL-treated MDA_MB231 cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS The green-synthesized AgNP-OAL has promising anticancer efficiency that can trigger apoptosis pathways in the MDA_MB231 breast cancer cells.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 418:126150.

Abstract
The widespread use of selenium (Se) in technological applications (e.g., solar cells and electronic devices) has led to an accumulation of this metalloid in the environment to toxic levels. The newly described bacterial strain Stenotrophomonas bentonitica BII-R7 has been demonstrated to reduce mobile Se(IV) to Se(0)-nanoparticles (Se(0)NPs) and volatile species. Amorphous Se-nanospheres are reported to aggregate to form crystalline nanostructures and trigonal selenium. We investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the biotransformation of Se(IV) to less toxic forms using differential shotgun proteomics analysis of S. bentonitica BII-R7 grown with or without sodium selenite for three different time-points. Results showed an increase in the abundance of several proteins involved in Se(IV) reduction and stabilization of Se(0)NPs, such as glutathione reductase, in bacteria grown with Se(IV), in addition to many proteins with transport functions, including RND (resistance-nodulation-division) systems, possibly facilitating Se uptake. Notably proteins involved in oxidative stress defense (e.g., catalase/peroxidase HPI) were also induced by Se exposure. Electron microscopy analyses confirmed the biotransformation of amorphous nanospheres to trigonal Se. Overall, our results highlight the potential of S. bentonitica in reducing the bioavailability of Se, which provides a basis both for the development of bioremediation strategies and the eco-friendly synthesis of biotechnological nanomaterials.

Abstract
A native strain of Bacillus paramycoides isolated from the leachate of coal mine overburden rocks was investigated for its potential to produce selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) by biogenic reduction of selenite, one of the most toxic forms of selenium. 16S rDNA sequencing was used to identify the bacterial strain (SP3). The SeNPs were characterized using spectroscopic (UV-Vis absorbance, dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, and Raman), surface charge measurement (zeta potential), and ultramicroscopic (FESEM, EDX, FETEM) analyses. SP3 exhibited extremely high selenite tolerance (1000 mM) and reduced 10 mM selenite under 72 h to produce spherical monodisperse SeNPs with an average size of 149.1 ± 29 nm. FTIR analyses indicated exopolysaccharides coating the surface of SeNPs, which imparted a charge of -29.9 mV (zeta potential). The XRD and Raman spectra revealed the SeNPs to be amorphous. Furthermore, biochemical assays and microscopic studies suggest that selenite was reduced by membrane reductases. This study reports, for the first time, the reduction of selenite and biosynthesis of SeNPs by B. paramycoides, a recently discovered bacterium. The results suggest that B. paramycoides SP3 could be exploited for eco-friendly removal of selenite from contaminated sites with the concomitant biosynthesis of SeNPs.

Abstract
Among the trace elements, selenium (Se) has great demand as a health supplement. Compared to its other forms, selenium nanoparticles have minor toxicity, superior reactivity, and excellent bioavailability. The present study was conducted to produce selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) via a biosynthetic approach using probiotic Bacillus subtilis BSN313 in an economical and easy manner. The BSN313 exhibited a gradual increase in Se reduction and production of SeNPs up to 5–200 µg/mL of its environmental Se. However, the capability was decreased beyond that concentration. The capacity for extracellular SeNP production was evidenced by the emergence of red color, then confirmed by a microscopic approach. Produced SeNPs were purified, freeze-dried, and subsequently characterized systematically using UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, Zetasizer, SEM–EDS, and TEM techniques. SEM–EDS analysis proved the presence of selenium as the foremost constituent of SeNPs. With an average particle size of 530 nm, SeNPs were shown to have a −26.9 (mV) zeta potential and −2.11 µm cm/Vs electrophoretic mobility in water. SeNPs produced during both the 24 and 48 h incubation periods showed good antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH and ABST scavenging action at a concentration of 150 µg/mL with no significant differences (p > 0.05). Moreover, 200 µg/mL of SeNPs showed antibacterial reactivity against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 9027, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25923. In the future, this work will be helpful to produce biogenic SeNPs using probiotic Bacillus subtilis BSN313 as biofactories, with the potential for safe use in biomedical and nutritional applications.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is considered one of the paramount forefronts in science over the last decade. Its versatile implementations and fast-growing demand have paved the way for innovative measures for the synthesis of higher quality nanomaterials. In the early stages, traditional synthesis methods were utilized, and they relied on both carcinogenic chemicals and high energy input for production of nano-sized material. The pollution produced as a result of traditional synthesis methods induces a need for environmentally safer synthesis methods. As the downfalls of climate change become more abundant, the scientific community is persistently seeking solutions to combat the devastation caused by toxic production methods. Green methods for nanomaterial synthesis apply natural biological systems to nanomaterial production. The present review highlights the history of nanoparticle synthesis, starting with traditional methods and progressing towards green methods. Green synthesis is a method just as effective, if not more so, than traditional synthesis; it provides a sustainable approach to nanomaterial manufacturing by using naturally sourced starting materials and relying on low energy processes. The recent use of active molecules in natural biological systems such as bacteria, yeast, algae and fungi report successful results in the synthesis of various nanoparticle systems. Thus, the integration of green synthesis in scientific research and mass production provides a potential solution to the limitations of traditional synthesis methods.

Abstract
Temporal and spatial segregations are two fundamental requirements for the successful synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs). To obtain colloidally stable selenium nanospheres (SeNSs), surfactants or polymers are generally needed as structure-directing agents or stabilizers in the reduction approaches for SeNP synthesis. The addition of such chemicals sacrifices the purity of the obtained SeNPs and, therefore, is detrimental to the applications. Here, for the first time, we report that low-molecular weight (less than six carbons) diketones are excellent photoreductants for green and tunable synthesis of SeNPs, owing to their merits in temporal and spatial control. With simple diketones as the photoreductants, the resultant SeNPs were pure and colloidally stable with nice photoelectronic properties. This finding not only provides a useful strategy for the synthesis of SeNPs but also might be a milestone in the development of ketone photochemistry.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed a phenomenal rise in nanotechnology research due to its broad range of applications in diverse fields including food safety, transportation, sustainable energy, environmental science, catalysis, and medicine. The distinctive properties of nanomaterials (nano-sized particles in the range of 1 to 100 nm) make them uniquely suitable for such wide range of functions. The nanoparticles when manufactured using green synthesis methods are especially desirable being devoid of harsh operating conditions (high temperature and pressure), hazardous chemicals, or addition of external stabilizing or capping agents. Numerous plants and microorganisms are being experimented upon for an eco–friendly, cost–effective, and biologically safe process optimization. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the green synthesis of metallic NPs using plants and microorganisms, factors affecting the synthesis, and characterization of synthesized NPs. The potential applications of metal NPs in various sectors have also been highlighted along with the major challenges involved with respect to toxicity and translational research.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are gaining importance in the food and medical fields due to their antibacterial properties. The microbial inhibition of these kinds of particles has been tested in a wide range of Gram (+) and Gram (−) pathogenic bacteria. When SeNPs are synthesized by biological methods, they are called biogenic SeNPs, which have a negative charge caused by their interaction between surface and capping layer (bioorganic material), producing their high stability. This review is focused on SeNPs synthesis by bacteria and summarizes the main factors that influence their main characteristics: shape, size and surface charge, considering the bacteria growth conditions for their synthesis. The different mechanisms of antimicrobial activity are revised, and this review describes several biosynthesis hypotheses that have been proposed due to the fact that the biological mechanism of SeNP synthesis is not fully known.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is the science of nano-sized particles/structures (~100 nm) having a high surface-to-volume ratio that can modulate the physical, chemical and biological properties of the chemical compositions. In last few decades, nanoscience has attracted the attention of the scientific community worldwide due to its potential uses in the pharmacy, medical diagnostics and disease treatment, energy, electronics, agriculture, chemical and space industries. The properties of nanoparticles (NPs) are size and shape dependent. These characteristic features of nanoparticles can be explored for various other applications such as computer transistors, chemical sensors, electrometers, memory schemes, reusable catalysts, biosensing, antimicrobial activity, nanocomposites, medical imaging, tumor detection and drug delivery. Therefore, synthesizing nanoparticles of desired size, structure, monodispersity and morphology is crucial for the aforementioned applications. Recent advancements in nanotechnology aim at the synthesis of nanoparticles/materials using reliable, innoxious and novel ecofriendly techniques. In contrast to the traditional methods, the biosynthesis of nanoparticles of a desired nature and structure using the microbial machinery is not only quicker and safer but more environmentally friendly. Various microbes, including bacteria, actinobacteria, fungi, yeast, microalgae and viruses, have recently been explored for the synthesis of metal, metal oxide and other important NPs through intracellular and extracellular processes. Some bacteria and microalgae possess specific potential to fabricate distinctive nanomaterials such as exopolysaccharides, nanocellulose, nanoplates and nanowires. Moreover, their ability to synthesize nanoparticles can be enhanced using genetic engineering approaches. Thus, the use of microorganisms for synthesis of nanoparticles is unique and has a promising future. The present review provides explicit information on different strategies for the synthesis of nanoparticles using microbial cells; their applications in bioremediation, agriculture, medicine and diagnostics; and their future prospects.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are responsible for the development of various chronic wound-related and implant-mediated infections and confer protection to the pathogenic bacteria against antimicrobial drugs and host immune responses. Hence, biofilm-mediated chronic infections have created a tremendous burden upon healthcare systems worldwide. The development of biofilms upon the surface of medical implants has resulted in the failure of various implant-based surgeries and therapies. Although different conventional chemical and physical agents are used as antimicrobials, they fail to kill the sessile forms of bacterial pathogens due to the resistance exerted by the exopolysaccharide (EPS) matrices of the biofilm. One of the major techniques used in addressing such a problem is to directly check the biofilm formation by the use of novel antibiofilm materials, local drug delivery, and device-associated surface modifications, but the success of these techniques is still limited. The immense expansion in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology has resulted in the development of novel nanomaterials as biocidal agents that can be either easily integrated within biomaterials to prevent the colonization of microbial cells or directly approach the pathogen overcoming the biofilm matrix. The antibiofilm efficacies of these nanomaterials are accomplished by the generation of oxidative stresses and through alterations of the genetic expressions. Microorganism-assisted synthesis of nanomaterials paved the path to success in such therapeutic approaches and is found to be more acceptable for its "greener" approach. Metallic nanoparticles functionalized with microbial enzymes, silver-platinum nanohybrids (AgPtNHs), bacterial nanowires, superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4), and nanoparticles synthesized by both magnetotactic and non-magnetotactic bacteria showed are some of the examples of such agents used to attack the EPS.
