Biosynthesis of selenium nanomaterials by anaerobic bacteria for environmental technologies

Abstract

2016b), elemental tellurium 2017b) and CdTe have been synthesized. Mal showed the nanoparticles are mainly present in the loosely bound fraction of the EPS, and can thus be harvested by centrifugation of the sludge. Most reactors were operated at mesophilic (30°C) temperatures, with a few studies investigating psychrophilic (Zeng et al. , 2019) and thermophilic (Dessì et al. , 2016) conditions. BOR: biomass oxidation reaction; HER: hydrogen evolution reaction.
