ZnO Nanoparticle Biosynthesis and Its Effect on Phosphorous-Mobilizing Enzyme Secretion and Gum Contents in Clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.)

Biological synthesis of ZnO nanoparticle is a new approach for environmentally benign protocol in context to green nanotechnology. In present investigation, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized from ZnNO3 using extracellular secretions of Aspergillus fumigatus TFR-8 (NCBI GenBank Accession No. JQ675291) and effect of these biologically transformed ZnO nanoparticles was studied on clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) to enhance native phosphorous-mobilizing enzymes and nanoinduced gum production. Valid characterization techniques were employed for confirmation of size, shape, surface structure, crystalline nature, and elemental proportion. Results indicate that synthesized nanoparticle size ranging between…
