Title A name given to the resource Algae-Based Nanoparticles for Contaminated Environs Nanoremediation Subject The topic of the resource Algae; Environment; Heavy metals; Nanoparticles; Pollutantsbioremediation Description An account of the resource Currently, the rapidly growing human interference has increased the percentage of pollutants that include organic and inorganic and this has been threatening the ecosystems. Remediation by conventional physicochemical methods, bioremediation has gained immense acceptance due to their ecofriendly, economical, and sustainable approach. Microbial-based nanoparticles act as facilitators in remediating contaminants by microbial growth and immobilization of remediating agents, by inducing microbial remediating enzymes or enhanced biosurfactants that helps to improve solubility of hydrophobic hydrocarbons to create a conducive milieu for remediation. Algal-NPs can be produced easily using low-cost medium and simple scaling up process which is economically feasible. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been synthesized using Nannochloropsis sps (NN) and Chlorella vulgaris (CV), while, brown seaweeds Petalonia fascia, Colpomenia sinuosa, and Padina pavonica were used with iron oxide NPs along with their aqueous extracts. These applications have shown to be promising alternative bioremediating methods that are safe. Algal-based NPs can act as a pollution abatement device that can help to effectively target the pollutants for efficient nanobioremediation and helps to promote environmental clean-up for eliminating heavy metals, dyes, and other organic and inorganic waste from the environment. 2025 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.
