Functionalized maghemite superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (γ-Fe₂O₃-SPIONs)-amylase enzyme hybrid in biofuel production.

ABSTRACT: The current study describes a straightforward, biologically and environmentally friendly method for creating magnetic iron oxide (γ-Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles. We report here that the Bacillus subtilis SE05 strain, isolated from offshore formation water near Zaafarana, the Red Sea, Hurghada, Egypt, can produce highly magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles of the maghemite type (γ-Fe₂O₃). To the best of our knowledge, the ability of this bacterium to reduce Fe₂O₃ has yet to be demonstrated. As a result, this study reports on the fabrication of enzyme-NPs and the biological immobilization of α-amylase on a solid support. The identified strain was deposited in GenBank with accession number MT422787. The bacterial cells used for the synthe
