RESUMEN

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are attractive nanomaterials for application in medical diagnosis, because their toxicities are lower than the elemental selenium which is a functional element and essential for human. In the current study, SeNPs synthesis capability of a novel soil originated indigenous Bacillus isolate was investigated. In this context, effects of processing conditions (SeO2 concentration, pH, temperature, and time), and yeast extract supplementation on the synthesis of SeNPs have been tested. In addition, nanoparticles were characterized and antioxidant capacity was determined. The cell-free supernatant of the bacterium, which was obtained after the cultivation of the isolate in nutrient broth at 33 °C for 24 h, was used for the synthesis. During the synthesis color change from light yellow to red-orange was an indication of the formation of SeNPs. Effect of SeO2 concentration was tested on the formation of nanoparticles and at concentrations higher than 10 mM, there was no formation of nanoparticles. The best production was achieved at 6.4 mM concentration, at pH 9 and 33 °C in 72 h. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images revealed that SeNPs were spherical in shape having the diameters between 31 and 335 nm, and the average diameter was determined to be 126 nm. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis confirmed the presence of elemental selenium. SeNPs possessed significant antioxidant activity that the scavenging capacity was up to 56.5 ± 5% (IC50 322.8 µg/mL).
