TL;DR: The fungi Aureobasidium pullulans, Mortierella humilis, Trichoderma harzianum and Phoma glomerata were used to investigate the formation of selenium- and tellurium-containing nanoparticles during growth on selenum- and tellingerium- containing media, resulting in extensive precipitation of elemental seenium andTellurium on fungal surfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized under microwave-assisted heating were interrogated for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active substrates, and the formation of self-assembled particles with the occurrence of electron transfer from Cu to Au and the absence of CuxO.

TL;DR: A complementary application of microscopic, light scattering, and mass spectrometry techniques for the characterisation of NPs in challenging biological matrices like blood has been demonstrated.

TL;DR: Results highlight, for the first time, that particulate matter may contaminate gas condensates with a series of elements (Al, P, S, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Hg, and Pb), which can make the upstream use problematic, especially for mercury.

TL;DR: Aureobasidium pullulans was grown in liquid culture media amended with selenite and tellurite and selenium (Se) and Te nanoparticles (NPs) were recovered after 30 d incubation.
