Microbial mediated biological synthesis of nanoparticles is of enormous interest to modern nanotechnology due to its simplicity and eco-friendliness. In the present study, a novel green method for the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) has been developed using bio-derived product-cell lysate supernatant (CLS) from various microorganisms including Gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas kunmingensis ADR19, Psychrobacter faecalis FZC6, Vibrio fischeri NRRL B-11177, Gram-positive bacteria: Jeotgalicoccus coquinae ZC15, Sporosarcina psychrophila KC19, Kocuria rosea MN23, genetically engineered bacterium: Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and yeast: Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CCV1. The biogenic PtNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
