HIGHLIGHTS Illustration of various important fields biotechnology where cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides are potentially useful. Discussion research gaps and new opportunities to make the biomaterial suitable for industrial uses.

The biotechnological applications use stable and eco-friendly biocatalysts, with good operational properties, reusable easily separable. An efficient method of improving the stability enzymes as biocatalysts may be immobilization. immobilization research objectives are obtaining versatile insoluble enzyme preparations high enzymatic activity, capable catalyzing reactions their natural unnatural...

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are successfully employed in drug delivery, biosensors, and biotechnologies. Their wide success is due to their unique chemical properties, biocompatibility, easy, cheap versatile synthesis. In this framework, AuNRs were synthetized with the aim obtain strongly hydrophilic nanomaterials, suitable as delivery system. by seed mediated methods two steps. After careful purific...
