Paraclostridium benzoelyticum Bacterium-Mediated Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Their In Vivo Multiple Biological Applications.

ABSTRACT: We presented a low-cost, eco-friendly, and efficient bacterium-mediated synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) utilizing Paraclostridium benzoelyticum strain 5610 as a capping and reducing agent. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to physiochemically characterize the biosynthesized ZnO-NPs. A major narrow peak at 441 nm was observed using UV-visible spectroscopy, verifying the presence of nanoparticles. According to SEM and TEM studies, the average dimensions of ZnO-NPs was 50 nm. The crystal size of 48.22 nm was determined by XRD analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of various reducing metabolites on the surface of ZnO-NPs. The synthesized nanoparticles were
