This noticeable research gap underscores the novelty and untapped potential of Desertifilum sp. TN-15 in the field of nanomedicine.

Scanning electron microscopy was employed to probe the surface morphology of the biogenic ZnO-NPs unveiling their size of 94.80 nm and star-shaped. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction analysis substantiated the crystalline nature of ZnO-NPs, with a crystalline size measuring 46 nm.
