Microbial synthesis of iron nanoparticles

Nanotechnology can be defined as the science of producing materials with a size of 1 to 100 nanometers. Physical and chemical production methods of iron nanoparticles are associated with environmental pollution, but biosynthesis of Fe-NPs is a relatively simple, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly method. Different microorganisms such as bacteria can synthesis iron nanoparticles. This study aimed to investigate the synthesis of iron nanoparticles by bacterial strain isolated from Yazd Choghart iron mine waste. The gram-positive bacterial strain was selected and showed the great ability to synthesize iron nanoparticles in pH 4 and 25 °C after 24 hours.
