Biological synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles by cadmium and tellurite resistant antarctic bacteria: exploring novel natural nanofactories

Background: Fluorescent nanoparticles or quantum dots (QDs) have been intensely studied for basic and applied research due to their unique size-dependent properties. There is an increasing interest in developing ecofriendly methods to synthesize these nan
