Bacillus cereus as a biotemplating agent for the synthesis of zinc oxide with raspberry- and plate-like structures

Currently the development of green chemistry approach with the use of biomaterial-based activities of microbial cells in the synthesis of various nanostructures has attracted a great attention. In this study, we report on the use of bacterium, Bacillus cereus as a biotemplating agent for the formati...
