Biosynthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles from an estuarine-associated actinobacterium Streptomyces spp. and its biotherapeutic applications.

The present study was conducted to biosynthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) by an estuarine associated actinobacterium Streptomyces spp., characterized its spectral features and also determined its biomedical properties. At first, ZnONPs were synthesized by actinobacterial-mediated reduction of zinc oxide metal and then, it was characterized by following standard methodologies.
