Radiolabeling of Biogenic Magnetic Nanoparticles with Rhenium-188 as a Novel Agent for Targeted Radiotherapy.

Use of nanoparticles as carriers of anticancer drugs is a suitable way for targeted drug delivery and reduction of the side effects. This research focuses on a novel drug carrier for therapeutic goals by the bacterial magnetic nanoparticles (magnetosomes). The unique characteristics of magnetosomes make them ideal nanobiotechnological materials.

Cobalt separation by Alphaproteobacterium MTB-KTN90: magnetotactic bacteria in bioremediation.

Bioremediation of toxic metals by magnetotactic bacteria and magnetic separation of metal-loaded magnetotactic bacteria are of great interest. This bioprocess technique is rapid, efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly. In this study, cobalt removal potential of a novel isolated magnetotactic bacterium (Alphaproteobacterium MTB-KTN90) as a new biosorbent was investigated.

Effect of salinity on vanadate biosorption by Halomonas sp. GT-83: preliminary investigation on biosorption by micro-PIXE technique.

Thirty-eight soil samples were collected from crude oil contaminated land in south of Iran. Initial screening of a total of 100 bacterial isolates, resulted in the selection of one isolate with maximum adsorption capacity of 52.7 mg vanadate/g dry weight.

Biotechnological potential of Azolla filiculoides for biosorption of Cs and Sr: Application of micro-PIXE for measurement of biosorption.

The presence of Cs and Sr in culture medium of Azolla filiculoides caused about 27.4% and 46.3% inhibition of biomass growth, respectively, in comparison to A.

Uptake of Re(VII) from aqueous solutions by Bacillus sp. GT-83-23.

Thirty-eight water samples were collected from various areas of Anzali lagoon, Iran. Initial screening of a total of 100 bacterial isolates, resulted in the selection of one isolate with maximum adsorption capacity. It was tentatively identified as Bacillus sp.
