Journal Article
A new method for biological synthesis of agriculturally relevant nanohydroxyapatite with elucidated effects on soil bacteria
2019
Overview
The study describes a novel and environment friendly route of biosynthesis of nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP).
Bacillus licheniformis
mediated synthesis of nHAP has been carried out with different phosphate concentrations (2%, 5%, 10% and 20%
w/v
) of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate monobasic (K
2
HPO
4
). The synthesis is supported by a two-step mechanism – (i) solubilization of P by organic acids extracellularly secreted by the bacterial strain and (ii) gelation of P and Ca. The nHAP particles were characterized using electron microscopy and XRD analysis. Powdered crystalline particles with a size range of 30 ± 5 nm were obtained with shape and size dependent on phosphate concentrations. The particles showed no adverse effect on plant growth-promoting bacteria. Evaluation of nHAP prepared by this route with 2% P source provides scope for a wide range of applications, especially as a nano-fertilizer.
