Structural-morphological insights into optimization of hydrothermally synthesized MoSe nanoflowers for improving supercapacitor applications.

The present work reports a clear and improved hydrothermal methodology for the synthesis of MoSe nanoflowers (MNFs) at 210 °C. To observe the effect of temperature on the fascinating properties, the process temperature was modified by ±10 °C. The as-prepared MNFs were found to consist of 2D nanosheets, which assembled into a 3D flower-like hierarchical morphology van der Waals forces.

Exploring novel potential of mycosynthesized magnetic nanoparticles for phosphatase immobilization and biological activity.

Among different microbes, fungi are proficient candidates for the extracellular synthesis of iron nanoparticles. For biogenic synthesis of iron nanoparticles, a thermophilic mould Myceliophthora thermophila BJTLRMDU7 was used in this study. Mycogenic magnetic nanoparticles were used for phosphatase immobilization and therapeutic applications such as antimicrobial and antimalarial activity.

Production of fungal phytases in solid state fermentation and potential biotechnological applications.

Phytases are important enzymes used for eliminating the anti-nutritional properties of phytic acid in food and feed ingredients. Phytic acid is major form of organic phosphorus stored during seed setting. Monogastric animals cannot utilize this phytate-phosphorus due to lack of necessary enzymes.

Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles: Sources and multifarious biotechnological applications.

Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles is a highly fascinating research area and has gained importance due to reliable, sustainable and ecofriendly protocol for synthesizing nanoparticles, along with the easy availability of plant materials and their pharmacological significance. As an alternate to physical and chemical synthesis, the biological materials, like microorganisms and plants are considered to be less costly and environment-friendly. Iron nanoparticles with diverse morphology and size have been synthesized using biological extracts.

Enhanced production and immobilization of phytase from Aspergillus oryzae: a safe and ideal food supplement for improving nutrition.

Microbial phytases are potentially excellent candidates for eliminating anti-nutrient i.e. phytic acid, due to hydrolysis of phospho-monoester linkages present in the phytic acid.

Immobilized phytases: an overview of different strategies, support material, and their applications in improving food and feed nutrition.

Phytases are the most widely used food and feed enzymes, which aid in nutritional improvement by reducing anti-nutritional factor. Despite the benefits, enzymes usage in the industry is restricted by several factors such as their short life-span and poor reusability, which result in high costs for large-scale utilization at commercial scale. Furthermore, under pelleting conditions such as high temperatures, pH, and other factors, the enzyme becomes inactive due to lesser stability.
