Biosynthesis of zirconia nanoparticles using the fungus Fusarium oxysporum
Open accessAbstract
Zirconia nanoparticles may be produced by challenging the fungus Fusarium oxysporum with aqueous ZrF62− anions; extra-cellular protein-mediated hydrolysis of the anionic complexes results in the facile room temperature synthesis of nanocrystalline zirconia. Extracellular hydrolysis of the metal anions by cationic proteins of molecular weight around 24 to 28 kDa, which are rather similar in nature to silicatein, is shown to be responsible for the synthesis of zirconia nanoparticles, opening up the exciting possibility of large-scale biological synthesis of technologically important oxide materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
