Abstract
Nowadays, the use of biological methods of synthesis of nanoparticles as substitutes for methods that use high energy and consumption of expensive and dangerous materials is of interest to researchers all over the world. Biological methods of synthesising metal nanoparticles are very important because they are easy, affordable, safe, environmentally friendly and able to control the size and shape of nanoparticles. One of the methods that is of interest today is the use of bacteriophages as the most abundant organisms in nature in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Nanomaterials biosynthesized from phages have shown various clinical applications, including antimicrobial activities, biomedical sensors, drug and gene delivery systems, cancer treatment and tissue regeneration. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to investigate the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles with phages and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
The emerging antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is a key problem in modern medicine that has led to a search for novel therapeutic strategies. A potential approach for managing such bacteria involves the use of their natural killers, namely lytic bacteriophages. Another effective method involves the use of metal nanoparticles with antimicrobial properties. However, the use of lytic phages armed with nanoparticles as an effective antimicrobial strategy, particularly with respect to biofilms, remains unexplored. Here, we show that T7 phages armed with silver nanoparticles exhibit greater efficacy in terms of controlling bacterial biofilm, compared with phages or nanoparticles alone. We initially identified a novel silver nanoparticle-binding peptide, then constructed T7 phages that successfully displayed the peptide on the outer surface of the viral head. These recombinant, AgNP-binding phages could effectively eradicate bacterial biofilm, even when used at low concentrations. Additionally, when used at concentrations that could eradicate bacterial biofilm, T7 phages armed with silver nanoparticles were not toxic to eukaryotic cells. Our results show that the novel combination of lytic phages with phage-bound silver nanoparticles is an effective, synergistic and safe strategy for the treatment of bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
Recently, nano feed supplement research has great attention to improving healthy aquatic production and improving the aquatic environment. With the aims of the present study, chemical and green synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by various instrumentation analyses, namely UV-Vis spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). After characterization analysis of these nanoparticles utilized in aquatic animals, the composition ratio is as follows: controls (without ZnO-NPs (0 mg/L)), T1 (0.9 mg/L ZnO-NPs), T2 (1.9 mg/L ZnO-NPs), T3 (0.9 mg/L GZnO-NPs), T4 (1.9 mg/L GZnO-NPs). SEM investigation report demonstrates that the structure of the surface of green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (GZnO-NPs) was conical shape and the size ranging was from 60 to 70 nm. Concerning hematological parameters, the quantity of hemoglobin increased in different doses of green zinc nanoparticles, but the values of MCV and MCH decreased somewhat. However, this decrease was the highest in the T2 group. Total protein and albumin decreased in T2 and triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose, cortisol, creatinine, and urea increased, while in T3 and T4 groups, changes in biochemical parameters were evaluated as positive. Mucosal and serum immunological parameters in the T2 group showed a significant decrease compared to other groups. In zinc nanoparticles, with increasing dose, oxidative damage is aggravated, so in the T2 group, a decrease in antioxidant enzymes and an increase in MDA were seen compared to other groups. In this regard, the concentration of liver enzymes AST and ALT increased in the T2 group compared with control and other groups. This can confirm liver damage in this dose compared with control and other groups. This research work suggests that green synthesized form of zinc nanoparticles in higher doses have less toxic effects in comparison to the chemical form of zinc nanoparticles and can act as suitable nutrient supplements in aquatic animals.

Abstract
The phage display technology is based on the presentation of peptide sequences on the surface of virions of bacteriophages. Its development led to creation of sophisticated systems based on the possibility of the presentation of a huge variability of peptides, attached to one of proteins of bacteriophage capsids. The use of such systems allowed for achieving enormous advantages in the processes of selection of bioactive molecules. In fact, the phage display technology has been employed in numerous fields of biotechnology, as diverse as immunological and biomedical applications (in both diagnostics and therapy), the formation of novel materials, and many others. In this paper, contrary to many other review articles which were focussed on either specific display systems or the use of phage display in selected fields, we present a comprehensive overview of various possibilities of applications of this technology. We discuss an usefulness of the phage display technology in various fields of science, medicine and the broad sense of biotechnology. This overview indicates the spread and importance of applications of microbial systems (exemplified by the phage display technology), pointing to the possibility of developing such sophisticated tools when advanced molecular methods are used in microbiological studies, accompanied with understanding of details of structures and functions of microbial entities (bacteriophages in this case).

Abstract
This study exploits the potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) with diverse morphologies as catalysts and antibacterial agent. Spherical ZnO-NPs, rod-shaped ZnO-NPs and flower-shaped ZnO-NPs were prepared by microemulsion method, solvent heat method and hydrothermal method, respectively. The structural characterizations of samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. XRD results revealed the formation of spherical ZnO-NPs, rod-shaped ZnO-NPs and flower-shaped ZnO-NPs were all wurtzite crystal structure. SEM results showed that spherical ZnO-NPs had an average particle size of 30-40 nm, rod-shaped ZnO-NPs were about 500 nm long and 100 nm wide with obvious hexagonal crystals. Flower-shaped ZnO-NPs had a three-dimensional appearance with obvious petals. Results of electrochemical HER (Hydrogen evolution reaction) experiments revealed that spherical ZnO-NPs exhibited the highest electrocatalytic activity at the lowest potential voltage due to their largest specific surface area. The antibacterial property of ZnO-NPs samples were studied by the optical density method and disc diffusion method. All samples had antibacterial effects against E. coli. and flower-shaped ZnO-NPs showed the best antibacterial activity due to the largest surface area in comparison with spherical ZnO-NPs and rod-shaped ZnO-NPs, which promised the maximum Zn2+ release as bactericide mechanism that registered in the case of different ZnO-NPs morphologies.

Abstract
Recently, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are gaining much interest of nanobiotechnologists due to their profound biomedical applications. ZnONPs are used as antibacterial agents, which cause both gram-positive and negative bacterial cell death through the generation of reactive free radicals as well as membrane rupture. ZnONPs show excellent antioxidant properties in normal mammalian cells via the scavenging of reactive free radicals and up-regulation of antioxidant enzyme activities. Besides, it also shows hypoglycaemic effect in diabetic animals via pancreatic β-cells mediated increased insulin secretion and glucose uptake by liver, skeletal muscles and adipose tissues. Among the other potential applications, ZnONPs-induced bone and soft-tissue regeneration open a new horizon in the field of tissue engineering. Here, first we reviewed the complete synthesis routes of ZnONPs by physical, chemical, and biological pathways as well as outlined the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques. Further, we discussed the several important aspects of physicochemical analysis of ZnONPs. Additionally, we extensively reviewed the important biomedical applications of ZnONPs as antibacterial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic agents, and in the field of tissue engineering with special emphasis on their mechanisms of actions. Furthermore, the future perspectives of the ZnONPs are also discussed.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive diagnosis of bacterial infections at early stage is of great significance for food safety monitoring as well as clinical treatment. Herein, we construct a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobe based on M13 phages for the selective detection and inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). M13 phage with specific S. aureus-binding heptapeptide displayed on the N-terminal of pIII protein is selected from phage display peptide library. The S. aureus-specific SERS probe is thus constructed by in situ growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on M13 phage surface, followed by modification with 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) as SERS active molecule. Upon the addition of this SERS probe, M13 phage selectively binds with S. aureus to induce anchoring of AuNPs on S. aureus surface, and the SERS probe-labeled S. aureus cells are collected by centrifugation for SERS detection. For the quantification of S. aureus, a linear range of 10-106 cfu mL-1 is achieved in aqueous medium. It is further demonstrated by spiking recovery in soft drinks. Furthermore, this SERS probe exhibits bactericidal capabilities towards S. aureus, which shows promising potential to serve as a multifunctional platform for simultaneous detection and inactivation of S. aureus.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been studied as metal-based drugs that may be used for biomedical applications due to the fact of their biocompatibility. Their physicochemical properties, which depend on synthesis techniques involving physical, chemical, biological, and microfluidic reactor methods affect biological activity in vitro and in vivo. Advanced tool-based physicochemical characterization is required to identify the biological and toxicological effects of ZnO nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have variable morphologies and can be molded into three-dimensional structures to enhance their performance. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown therapeutic activity against cancer, diabetes, microbial infection, and inflammation. They have also shown the potential to aid in wound healing and can be used for imaging tools and sensors. In this review, we discuss the synthesis techniques, physicochemical characteristics, evaluation tools, techniques used to generate three-dimensional structures, and the various biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles.

Abstract
Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures, physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past decade, investment in research on materials such as ZnO, TiO2, SiO2, and GeO2 has significantly increased. Besides traditional approaches, the synthesis, shaping, structural patterning, and postprocessing chemical functionalization of the materials surface is inspired by strategies which mimic processes in nature. Would such materials deliver new technologies? Answering this question requires the merging of historical knowledge and current research from different fields of science. Practically, we need an effective defragmentation of the research area. From our perspective, the superficial accounting of material properties, chemistry of the surfaces, and the behavior of biomolecules next to such surfaces is a problem. This is particularly of concern when we wish to bridge between technologies in vitro and biotechnologies in vivo. Further, besides the potential practical technological efficiency and advantages such materials might exhibit, we have to consider the wider long-term implications of material stability and toxicity. In this contribution, we present a critical review of recent advances in the chemistry and engineering of MO-based biocomposites, highlighting the role of interactions at the interface and the techniques by which these can be studied. At the end of the article, we outline the challenges which hamper progress in research and extrapolate to developing and promising directions including additive manufacturing and synthetic biology that could benefit from molecular level understanding of interactions occurring between inanimate (abiotic) and living (biotic) materials.
