Green-fabrication of gold nanomaterials using Staphylococcus warneri from Sundarbans estuary: an effective recyclable nanocatalyst for degrading nitro aromatic pollutants.

Microbial synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) has attracted considerable attention in recent times due to their exceptional capability for the bioremediation of industrial wastes and also for the treatment of wastewater. A bacterial strain Staphylococcus warneri, isolated from the estuarine mangroves of Sundarbans region produced highly stable GNPs by reducing hydrogen auric chloride (HAucl
