Biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) from citrus fruit have anti-bacterial activities
Abstract Nanotechnology deals with the synthesis of materials and particles at nanoscale with dimensions of 1–100 nm. Biological synthesis of nanoparticles, using microbes and plants, is the most proficient method in terms of ease of handling and reliability. Core objectives of this study were to sy...
