Preparation and characterization of biosynthesized SeNPs by L. lactis NZ9000. (A) Appearance color of M17B, L. lactis NZ9000 supernatant or L. lactis NZ9000 cultivated with or without Na2SeO3 at 30°C for 48 h; (B) Visible white color of L. lactis NZ9000. (C) TEM images of SeNPs-enriched L. lactis NZ9000. (D) The freeze-dried powder of SeNPs isolated from SeNPs-enriched L. lactis NZ9000 appears distinct bright red color. (E) SEM–EDX images of isolated SeNPs. (F) Extracted biogenic biomolecules capped-SeNPs contained C, N, O and Se elements by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. SeNPs, selenium nanoparticles.
