Abstract
The utility of electrochemical active biofilm in bioelectrochemical systems has received considerable attention for harvesting energy and chemical products. However, the slow electron transfer between biofilms and electrodes hinders the enhancement of performance and still remains challenging. Here, using Fe3O4 /L-Cys nanoparticles as precursors to induce biomineralization, a facile strategy for the construction of an effective electron transfer pathway through biofilm and biological/inorganic interface is proposed, and the underlying mechanisms are elucidated. Taking advantage of an on-chip interdigitated microelectrode array (IDA), the conductive current of biofilm that is related to the electron transfer process within biofilm is characterized, and a 2.10-fold increase in current output is detected. The modification of Fe3O4/L-Cys on the electrode surface facilitates the electron transfer between the biofilm and the electrode, as the bio/inorganic interface electron transfer resistance is only 16% compared to the control. The in-situ biosynthetic Fe-containing nanoparticles (e.g., FeS) enhance the transmembrane EET and the EET within biofilm, and the peak conductivity increases 3.4-fold compared to the control. The in-situ biosynthesis method upregulates the genes involved in energy metabolism and electron transfer from the transcriptome analysis. This study enriches the insights of biosynthetic nanoparticles on electron transfer process, holding promise in bioenergy conversion.

Abstract
Owing to the increasing need for green synthesis and environmental protection, the utilization of biological organism-derived carbons as supports for noble-metal electrocatalysts has garnered public interest. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which microorganisms generate nanometals has not been fully understood yet. In the present study, we used genetically engineered bacteria of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (∆SO4317, ∆SO4320, ∆SO0618 and ∆SO3745) to explore the effect of surface substances including biofilm-associated protein (bpfA), protein secreted by type I secretion systems (TISS) and type II secretion systems (T2SS), and lipopolysaccharide in microbial synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Results showed Pd/∆SO4317 (the catalyst prepared with the mutant ∆SO4317) shows better performance than other biocatalysts and commercial Pd/C, where the mass activity (MA) and specific activity (SA) of Pd/∆SO4317 are 3.1 and 2.1 times higher than those of commercial Pd/C, reaching 257.49 A g-1 and 6.85 A m-2 respectively. It has been found that the exceptional performance is attributed to the smallest particle size and the presence of abundant functional groups. Additionally, the absence of biofilms has been identified as a crucial factor in the formation of high-quality bio-Pd. Because the absence of biofilm can minimize metal agglomeration, resulting in uniform particle size dispersion. These findings provide valuable mechanical insights into the generation of biogenic metal nanoparticles and show potential industrial and environmental applications, especially in accelerating oxygen reduction reactions.

Abstract
The excessive consumption of fossil fuels causes massive emission of CO2, leading to climate deterioration and environmental pollution. The development of substitutes and sustainable energy sources to replace fossil fuels has become a worldwide priority. Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs), employing redox reactions of electroactive microorganisms (EAMs) on electrodes to achieve a meritorious combination of biocatalysis and electrocatalysis, provide a green and sustainable alternative approach for bioremediation, CO2 fixation, and energy and chemicals production. EAMs, including exoelectrogens and electrotrophs, perform extracellular electron transfer (EET) (i.e., outward and inward EET), respectively, to exchange energy with the environment, whose rate determines the efficiency and performance of BESs. Therefore, we review the synthetic biology strategies developed in the last decade for engineering EAMs to enhance the EET rate in cell-electrode interfaces for facilitating the production of electricity energy and value-added chemicals, which include (1) progress in genetic manipulation and editing tools to achieve the efficient regulation of gene expression, knockout, and knockdown of EAMs; (2) synthetic biological engineering strategies to enhance the outward EET of exoelectrogens to anodes for electricity power production and anodic electro-fermentation (AEF) for chemicals production, including (i) broadening and strengthening substrate utilization, (ii) increasing the intracellular releasable reducing equivalents, (iii) optimizing c-type cytochrome (c-Cyts) expression and maturation, (iv) enhancing conductive nanowire biosynthesis and modification, (v) promoting electron shuttle biosynthesis, secretion, and immobilization, (vi) engineering global regulators to promote EET rate, (vii) facilitating biofilm formation, and (viii) constructing cell-material hybrids; (3) the mechanisms of inward EET, CO2 fixation pathway, and engineering strategies for improving the inward EET of electrotrophic cells for CO2 reduction and chemical production, including (i) programming metabolic pathways of electrotrophs, (ii) rewiring bioelectrical circuits for enhancing inward EET, and (iii) constructing microbial (photo)electrosynthesis by cell-material hybridization; (4) perspectives on future challenges and opportunities for engineering EET to develop highly efficient BESs for sustainable energy and chemical production. We expect that this review will provide a theoretical basis for the future development of BESs in energy harvesting, CO2 fixation, and chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), encompassing noble metals, metal oxides, and sulfides, has gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties and wide-ranging applications. However, traditional chemical synthesis methods often involve extreme conditions, harsh chemicals, and negative environmental impacts. Consequently, developing a simple, non-toxic, and eco-friendly approach for MNP synthesis is paramount. One promising method that addresses these concerns is using a bacterial cell-free extract (CFE) as a mediator for biosynthesis. Compared with other biosynthesis production methods, the purification process of MNPs synthesized using bacterial CFEs is much simpler, and CFE production is easier to standardize and reproduce. Bacterial CFEs are rich in various biomolecules, including proteins, enzymes, and peptides, which serve as both reducing and oxidizing agents during MNP formation. These biomolecules act as capping agents, contributing to the stability and monodisperse nature of MNPs. Using bacterial CFEs for MNP synthesis offers several advantages. Firstly, it aligns with eco-friendly practices as a biosynthesis approach. The non-toxic process minimizes environmental damage. Additionally, bacterial CFEs are cost-effective, making large-scale production economically viable. This review provides insights into these mechanisms, highlighting the role of CFE biomolecules and their impact on MNP characteristics. It also investigates the correlation between synthesis parameters, morphologies, and physical, chemical, and biological properties, allowing for tailored MNP design through the biosynthesis conditions. Despite its advantages, bacterial CFE-mediated biosynthesis faces challenges. This review addresses these challenges and discusses potential solutions. It also explores future perspectives, emphasizing areas for further investigation and innovation. In summary, using bacterial CFEs to synthesize MNPs offers significant advantages over other methods. It ensures eco-friendly, non-toxic, and cost-effective production. The review emphasizes the mechanisms and biomolecules involved, showcasing the potential for tailored MNP design. It also addresses challenges and prospects, paving the way for advancements in this field. Furthermore, the originality of this work lies in the exploitation of bacterial CFEs as a highly efficient and scalable platform for MNP synthesis.

Abstract
Induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) by hyperthermia can initiate adaptive immune responses, emerging as an attractive strategy for tumor immunotherapy. However, ICD can induce proinflammatory factor interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production, leading to indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) activation and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which dramatically reduces the ICD-triggered immunotherapeutic efficacy. Herein, we developed a bacteria-nanomaterial hybrid system (CuSVNP20009NB) to systematically modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and improve tumor immunotherapy. Attenuated Salmonella typhimurium (VNP20009) that can chemotactically migrate to the hypoxic area of the tumor and repolarize tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) was employed to intracellularly biosynthesize copper sulfide nanomaterials (CuS NMs) and extracellularly hitchhike NLG919-embedded and glutathione (GSH)-responsive albumin nanoparticles (NB NPs), forming CuSVNP20009NB. After intravenous injection into B16F1 tumor-bearing mice, CuSVNP20009NB could accumulate in tumor tissues and repolarize TAMs from the immunosuppressive M2 to immunostimulatory M1 phenotype and release NLG919 from extracellular NB NPs to inhibit IDO-1 activity. Under further near infrared laser irradiation, intracellular CuS NMs of CuSVNP20009NB could photothermally induce ICD including calreticulin (CRT) expression and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) release, promoting intratumoral infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Finally, CuSVNP20009NB with excellent biocompatibility could systematically augment immune responses and significantly inhibit tumor growth, holding great promise for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The toxicity of metal nanoparticles has introduced promising research in the current scenario since an enormous number of people have been potentially facing this problem in the world. The extensive attention on green nanoparticle synthesis has been focussed on as a vital step in bio-nanotechnology to improve biocompatibility, biodegradability, eco-friendliness, and huge potential utilization in various environmental and clinical assessments. Inherent influence on the study of green nanoparticles plays a key role to synthesize the controlled and surface-influenced molecule by altering the physical, chemical, and biological assets with the provision of various precursors, templating/co-templating agents, and supporting solvents. However, in this article, the dominant characteristics of several kinds of lipopeptide biosurfactants are discussed to execute a critical study of factors affecting synthesis procedure and applications. The recent approaches of metal, metal oxide, and composite nanomaterial synthesis have been deliberated as well as the elucidation of the reaction mechanism. Furthermore, this approach shows remarkable boosts in the production of nanoparticles with the very less employed harsh and hazardous processes as compared to chemical or physical method-based nanoparticle synthesis. This study also shows that the advances in strain selection for green nanoparticle production could be a worthwhile and strong economical approach in futuristic medical science research.

Abstract
The development of highly conductive biofilms is a key strategy to enhance antibiotic removal in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) with biocathodes. In this study, Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were in situ fabricated in a biocathode (Au biocathode) to enhance the removal of chloramphenicol (CAP) in BESs. The concentration of Au(III) was determined to be 5 mg/L. CAP was effectively removed in the BES containing a Au biocathode with a removal percentage of 94.0% within 48 h; this result was 1.8-fold greater than that obtained using a biocathode without Au-NPs (51.7%). The Au-NPs significantly reduced the charge transfer resistance and promoted the electrochemical activity of the biocathode. In addition, the Au biocathode showed a specifical enrichment of Dokdonella, Bosea, Achromobacter, Bacteroides and Petrimonas, all of which are associated with electron transfer and contaminant degradation. This study provides a new strategy for enhancing CAP removal in BESs through a simple and eco-friendly electrode design.

Abstract
Untreated domestic wastewater and agricultural runoff are emerging as a potent cause of non-point source (NPS) pollutants which are a major threat to aquatic ecosystems. Periphyton biofilm-based technologies due to their high growth rate, energy efficiency and low input costs offer promising solutions for controlling nutrient pollution in agricultural systems. In this study we employed periphyton floway to treat NPS pollution from the agricultural watershed. The process performance of outdoor single pass algae floway (AFW) was evaluated. Steady state average biomass concentration of 11.73 g m-2 d-1 and removal rate of nitrogen: 0.60 g m-2 d-1, phosphorus: 0.27 g m-2d-1, arsenic: 9.26 mg m-2 d-1, chromium: 255.3 mg m-2 d-1 and lead: 238.6 mg m-2 d-1 was achieved. In addition, the microalgae and their associated bacterial diversity and dynamics were analyzed. The results revealed a high diversity and rapid variations in the microbiome structure with diatom and cyanobacteria dominance combined with high N fixing and P solubilizing bacteria during most of the operational period. Elemental analysis of periphyton biomass was done for its safe use as slow-release fertilizer. Biofuel feedstock potential and nanoparticle generation potential of the biomass were analyzed.

Abstract
The current research focuses on the Intracellular biosynthesis of Ag/AgCl nanohybrids in microalgae, Scenedesmus sp. The effect of biosynthesis process on growth and lipid profile of cells is key element of this study. Ag/AgCl nanohybrids synthesized intracellularly were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Powder X-Ray Diffraction (P-XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). 10-20 nm and 10-50 nm sized spherical shaped nanoparticles of polycrystalline nature were grown using 0.5 and 1 mM of AgNO3 precursor, respectively and Scenedesmus sp. as reducing agent. Total lipid content of the cells treated with 0.5 mM and 1 mM AgNO3 was static and found to be 43.2 ± 0.01 μg/mL and 48.2 ± 0.02 μg/mL respectively at 120 h of Ag/AgCl nanoparticles biosynthesis. FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) profile was improved due to intracellular nanoparticles biosynthesis with maximum C16:0 (palmitic acid) (35.7%) in cells treated with 0.5 mM AgNO3 used for Ag/AgCl nanohybrids synthesis. Palmitic acid in cells exposed to 0.5 mM concentration of metallic precursor increased by 75.86%. Synthesized nanoparticles were tested on four bacterial strains to establish its antibacterial efficiency showing appropriate zone of inhibition at varying concentrations. Present study efficiently demonstrates the utility of microalgae integrating nanoparticles biosynthesis and lipid accumulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanomaterials have recently been identified for their potential benefits in the areas of medicine and pharmaceuticals. Among these nanomaterials, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been widely utilized in the fields of diagnostics, antimicrobials, and catalysis. OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential utility of Citrobacter freundii in the synthesis of silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), and to determine the antimicrobial activities of the Ag-NPs produced. METHODS Aqueous Ag+ ions were reduced when exposed to C. freundii extract and sunlight, leading to the formation of Ag-NPs. Qualitative microanalysis for the synthesized Ag-NPs was done using UVvis spectrometry, Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The hydrodynamic size and stability of the particles were detected using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis. The Ag-NPs' anti-planktonic and anti-biofilm activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are two important skin and wound pathogens, were investigated. The cytotoxicity on human dermal fibroblast cell line was also determined. RESULTS Ag-NPs were spherical with a size range between 15 to 30 nm. Furthermore, Ag-NPs displayed potent bactericidal activities against both S. aureus and P. aeruginosa and showed noticeable anti-biofilm activity against S. aureus biofilms. Ag-NPs induced minor cytotoxic effects on human cells as indicated by a reduction in cell viability, a disruption of plasma membrane integrity, and apoptosis induction. CONCLUSION Ag-NPs generated in this study might be a future potential alternative to be used as antimicrobial agents in pharmaceutical applications for wound and skin related infections.

Abstract
The ever-increasing biomedical application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) implies increasing demand in their scalable and high-throughput production, with finely tuned and well-controlled characteristics. One of the options to meet the demand is microbial production by nanoparticles-synthesizing bacteria. This approach has several benefits over the standard chemical synthesis methods, including improved homogeneity of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, safety and eco-friendliness. There are, however, specific challenges emanating from the nature of the approach that are to be accounted and resolved in each manufacturing instance. Most of the challenges can be resolved by proper selection of the producing organism and optimizing cell culture and nanoparticles extraction conditions. Other issues require development of proper continuous production equipment, medium usage optimization and precursor ions recycling. This mini-review focuses on the related topics in microbial synthesis of MNPs: producing organisms, culturing methods, nanoparticles characteristics tuning, nanoparticles yield and synthesis timeframe considerations, nanoparticles isolation as well as on the respective challenges and possible solutions.

Abstract
Increasing heavy metal pollution in water continues to endanger human health. The genus Shinella has potential for heavy metal bioremediation but has rarely been studied. In this study, we report that Shinella zoogloeoides PQ7 turns black in the presence of lead ions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that PbS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by PQ7. Moreover, PQ7 was used as a biosorbent to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Biosorption performance was evaluated in terms of contact time, pH, biomass dosage and initial Pb(II) concentration. The equilibrium and kinetic data were consistent with the Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.986) and pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.977), respectively. The maximum (qmax) Pb(II) adsorption reached 222.22 mg/g, which was higher than that of other bacteria reported in previous literature. SEM–EDS, XRD and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses also confirmed the adsorption of Pb(II) by the PQ7 cells. In conclusion, PQ7 is a promising strain in removing and recovering Pb(II) from wastewater.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles have received great attention from researchers across the world because of a plethora of applications in agriculture and the biomedical field as antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds. Over the past few years, green nanotechnology has emerged as a significant approach for the synthesis and fabrication of metal nanoparticles. This green route employs various reducing and stabilizing agents from biological resources for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The present article aims to review the progress made in recent years on nanoparticle biosynthesis by microbes. These microbial resources include bacteria, fungi, yeast, algae and viruses. This review mainly focuses on the biosynthesis of the most commonly studied metal and metal salt nanoparticles such as silver, gold, platinum, palladium, copper, cadmium, titanium oxide, zinc oxide and cadmium sulphide. These nanoparticles can be used in pharmaceutical products as antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agents, targeted delivery of anticancer drugs, water electrolysis, waste water treatment, biosensors, biocatalysis, crop protection against pathogens, degradation of dyes etc. This review will discuss in detail various microbial modes of nanoparticles synthesis and the mechanism of their synthesis by various bioreducing agents such as enzymes, peptides, proteins, electron shuttle quinones and exopolysaccharides. A thorough understanding of the molecular mechanism of biosynthesis is the need of the hour to develop a technology for large scale production of bio-mediated nanoparticles. The present review also discusses the advantages of various microbial approaches in nanoparticles synthesis and lacuna involved in such processes. This review also highlights the recent milestones achieved on large scale production and future perspectives of nanoparticles.

Abstract
The conductivity of a biofilm is the key factor for the high current density of a bioelectrochemical system (BES). Most previous works have focused on electrode modification, but, this only benefits the microorganisms that directly contact the electrode. The low conductivity of biofilm limits the current density of the BES. In this work, gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were successfully fabricated in situ into a Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilm to increase the conductivity. 20 ppm NaAuCl4 (the precursor) was slowly dropped into the anode chamber at a rate of 1.3 mL/h in a continuous-flow three-electrode BES. The Au(III) was transformed to Au-NPs, which then precipitated in the biofilm via biological mineralization. The current density of the anode increased by 40%. Meanwhile, the removal percentage of the organic substrate (acetate) was enhanced 2.2 times, from 24.7% to 53.3%, after the in situ fabrication of Au-NPs. This method greatly lowered the charge transfer resistance of the anode and enhanced the anodic limiting current. Our results proved that the current density and organic removal rate of the G. sulfurreducens biofilm in the anode were effectively enhanced by in situ Au-NP fabrication. This work not only provides a simple and effective strategy for enhancing the electricity generation of BES with conductive NP fabrication, but also improves the understanding of the extracellular electron transfer (EET) of exoelectrogens.
