Eco-friendly zinc oxide nanoparticle biosynthesis powered by probiotic bacteria.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The rapid advancement of nanotechnology, particularly in the realm of pharmaceutical sciences, has significantly transformed the potential for treating life-threatening diseases. A pivotal aspect of this evolution is the emergence of "green nanotechnology," which emphasizes the environmentally sustainable synthesis of raw materials through biological processes. This review focuses on the biological synthesis and application of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) from probiotic bacteria, particularly those sourced from wastewater. Microorganisms from wastewater tolerate harmful elements and enzymatically convert toxic heavy metals into eco-friendly materials. These probiotic bacteria are instrumental in the synthesis of ZnO NPs and exhibit remarkable antimicrobial properties with diverse industrial applications. As the challenge of drug-resistant pathogens escalates, innovative strategies for combating microbial infections are essential. This review explores the intersection of nanotechnology, microbiology, and antibacterial resistance, highlighting the importance of selecting suitable probiotic bacteria for synthesizing ZnO NPs with potent antibacterial activity. Additionally, the review addresses the biofunctionalization of NPs and their applications in environmental remediation and therapeutic innovations, including wound healing, antibacterial, and anticancer treatments. Eco-friendly NP synthesis relies on the identification of these suitable microbial "nano-factories." Targeting probiotic bacteria from wastewater can uncover new microbial NP synthesis capabilities, advancing environmentally friendly NP production methods. KEY POINTS: • Innovative strategies are needed to combat drug-resistant pathogens like MRSA. • Wastewater-derived probiotic bacteria are an eco-friendly method for ZnO synthesis. • ZnO NPs show significant antimicrobial activity against various pathogens.
