The aim of project Nano-Bio-Sel is to obtain selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) bio-synthesized by microorganisms, especially filamentous micromycetes which are beneficial to plants, with possible applications in agronomical biofortification.

The main Objective is the investigation of SeNP biosynthesis in order to develop a bionanotechnology for obtaining biogenic  SeNPs with high biostimulant activity, by using microorganisms.

The specific objectives of Nano-Bio-Sel are:

• SeNP biosynthesis by selected microorganism strains;
• Characterization of biosynthesized SeNPs to be used as treatment for cultivated plants;
• Testing the biological activity of SeNPs.
