Furthermore, considerable antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (17 0.02 mm inhibition zone), followed by Escherichia coli (16 1.04 mm) Candida albicans (12 0.3 mm). Additionally, displayed antiviral low-pathogenic coronavirus (229E) strain, selectivity (SI) 5. In agriculture, application at 10 μM significantly increased primary metabolite production in wheat (Triticum aestivum), total soluble sugars reaching 54.32 mg/g proteins increasing 139.66 mg/g, promoting both shoot root growth. comprehensive characterization evaluation provide valuable insights into their multifunctionality, paving way further exploration medicine, environmental applications.

Microbial nanotechnology is an expanding research area devoted to producing biogenic metal and metalloid nanomaterials (NMs) using microorganisms. Often, NMs are explored as antimicrobial, anticancer, or antioxidant agents. Yet, most studies focus on their applications rather than the underlying mechanism of action toxicity. Here, we evaluate toxicity our well-characterized selenium nanoparticles (bSeNPs) produced by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain SeITE02 against model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae comparing it with chemogenic SeNPs (cSeNPs). Knowing from previous that extract contained bSeNPs in organic material (OM) supported here Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, removed incubated cSeNPs (cSeNPs_OM) assess its influence these formulations. Specifically, focused first stages eukaryotic cell exposure samples─i.e., interaction lipid membrane, which was mimicked preparing vesicles polar phosphatidylcholine lipids. Fluidity changes derived samples revealed bSeNP mediated overall rigidification vesicles, while showed negligible effects.
