The application of nonionic detergents: Triton X100 and Tween 80, as permeabilizing agents was an effective tool allowing to control the asymmetric hydrogen transfer in the biocatalyzed, enantioselective reduction of acetophenone to the desired optical isomer of 1-phenylethanol. Depending on the permeabilization procedure, the application of Geotrichum candidum, after the Triton X100 was applied, resulted in the formation of the R-enantiomer (79 percent of chemical yield and 72 percent of e.e), whereas bioreduction following the use of Tween 80 led to the S-form of 1-phenylethanol (51 percent of yield and 93 percent of e.e).

The potential of an indigenous bacterial strain, Chromobacterium violaceum SUK1a, isolated from surface water samples collected from Sukinda Valley in Odisha, India, has been evaluated for the first time for the bioremediation of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) ions. The isolate was assessed for its Cr(VI) biosorption efficiency and the various parameters affecting the biosorption process were evaluated. A maximum Cr(VI) biosorption of about 50% was obtained, and the residual chromium was in the form of less toxic Cr(III). The Gibbs free energy of biosorption was determined to be -26.3 kJ/mol, suggestive of a chemisorption process. Additionally, the Cr(VI) biosorption by the isolate followed pseudo second order kinetics. FTIR spectral studies indicated that the surface functional groups present on the bacterial isolate such as, carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, and phosphate groups were involved in the complexation of chromium ions with the bacterial cells. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies on Cr(VI) interacted bacterial cells revealed an additional peak corresponding to Cr(III) in the Cr(2p) spectra. The surface charge of the bacterial cells subsequent to interaction with Cr(VI) were less negative compared to the pristine cells, which further substantiated the bioreduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The bioremediation mechanism of Cr(VI) by the bacterial isolate is delineated to be governed by both biosorption and bioreduction processes under metabolism independent conditions. The results obtained indicate that the isolate can be a promising candidate for Cr(VI) bioremediation applications.

In this study, nanoiron and nanoiron+Au particles were synthesised using aqueous Aegle marmelos extract using a facile and one-pot approach. Lower size non-magnetic nanoiron (~34 nm) and nanoiron (~34 nm)+Au particles (1 to 1.5 μm) were produced from the same medium individually. Nanoparticles suspension behaviour and structural characterisations were carried out by UV-Vis spectroscopy, electron microscopy and by X-ray diffraction techniques. Primarily, for synthesis, a simple bioreduction approach generated amorphous nanoiron particles, which on annealing produced magnetic maghemite, γ-Fe2O3 type nanoparticles with sizes 100 to 1000 nm. Posteriorly, the bioreduction process also produces nanoiron+Au particles and can be used for multifunctional applications. As a model application, catalytic application of the as-prepared nanoiron and nanoiron+Au particles towards methylene blue, a thiazine dye degradation is investigated and found to be effective within 20 min. Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model was exploited to know the degradation behaviour, and the model was found to be fit based on R2 values with the observed experimental data. We suggest that the formed highly stable nanoiron particles with in situ stabilisation offer benefits like consistency, environmental friendliness and suits well for large-scale applicability.
