AbstractMaterials based on biogenic iron oxides, which are a product of the metabolic activities of the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria (NIOB) from Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group, were investigated. Natural microbial probes were collected from freshwater flow from Vitosha Mountain (Bulgaria) and cultivated under laboratory conditions in respect to select suitable cultures and conditions (nutrition media) for biomaterial accumulation of biogenic oxides. Samples were studied by physicochemical methods: X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. Their phase composition and physicochemical properties were obtained. Presence of both amorphous and crystal phase (ultra- and highly dispersed particles) was proved. Iron-containing compound in the natural biomass consists of α-FeOOH. The cultivated materials have more complex composition with iron-containing ingredients as α-FeOOH, Γ-FeOOH, Γ-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4. The sample of natural biomass was tested in reaction of CO oxidation and it showed potential to be used as catalyst support.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a stable food more than two billion people are getting 60-70 per cent their energy requirement from rice and its derived products. Present research investigated effect of urea embed mNS (embed in the mesoporousnano silica by simple immersion loading using aqueous solution and this formulation of nanofertilizer) on rice crop in pot experiment under polyhouse condition. Nine treatments consisted (T1: Control, T2:N30P60K40,T3:N60P60K40, T4:N90P60K40, T5:N120P60K40, T6:N30(mNS)P60K40,T7:N60(mNS)P60K40, T8:N90(mNS)P60K40 and T9:N120 (mNS)P60K40.) in three replications. In this study, the results revealed that the growth parameter, grain and straw yields as well as yield attributes (effective tillers, panicle length, grains per panicle and 1000-grain weight) were significantly affected by urea embed nano silica application. The highest grain and straw yields were recorded in treatment T9 giving 323.02 and 124.05 per cent more over control, due to exposure of urea embed mNS as compared to ordinary urea dose of chemical fertilizers. The sustained release of urea embedded mNSaccurs 7-8 days after exposure which is extraordinarily slow as compared to ordinary urea. These results are preliminary but promising and open the doors to use nanomaterials as an efficient nanofertilizer.

The freeze etching technique is potentially useful for examining dilute solutions or suspensions of macromolecular materials. Quick freezing of aqueous solutions in Freon or propane at or near liquid nitrogen temperature produces relatively large ice crystals and these crystals may damage the structures to be examined. Cryoprotective agents may reduce damage to the specimem, hut their use often results in the formation of a different set of specimem artifacts.In a study of the structure of polyethylene oxide gels glycerol and sucrose were used as cryoprotective agents. The experiments reported here show some of the structures which can appear when these cryoprotective agents are used.Figure 1 shows a fractured surface of a frozen 25% aqueous solution of sucrose. The branches of dendritic ice crystals surrounded hy ice-sucrose eutectic can be seen. When this fractured surface is etched the ice in the dendrites sublimes giving the type of structure shown in Figure 2. The ice-sucrose eutectic etches much more slowly. It is the smooth continuous structural constituent surrounding the branches of the dendrites.
