Utilizing the iron tolerance potential of Bacillus species for biogenic synthesis of magnetite with visible light active catalytic activity.

Recently, nanomaterial mediated degradation of water polluting industrial pollutant and dyes has become a topic of great interest. This study demonstrates enrichment, isolation, screening and molecular identification of iron tolerant Bacillus species for biosynthesis of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (IOMNPs). Synthesis parameters such as 5 mM FeCl 7 days of static incubation at 37 °C and slightly alkaline pH range of 7-7.
