Description
Prachi Patel and a large team grow bacteria-killing tiny particles with help from a microbe in a 2026 study. A bacterium, Streptomyces werraensis, that lives inside a medicinal plant was used to make zinc oxide particles from its cell-free fluid. The particles were checked by light, electron imaging, and size tools.
The particles were mostly round, highly crystalline, and averaged 136 nanometers wide. They killed bacteria in a dose-linked way, with the strongest zones against Salmonella paratyphi A at 19.0 millimeters, rivaling a standard antibiotic. They also scavenged harmful radicals well, nearing vitamin C in one test.
