The dynamic process that Cd2 was transported from solution into cell by living R. sph-aeroides was characterized by transmission electron microscopy TEM . Culture time as an important physiological parameter for R. sphaeroides growth could significantly control the size of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles. TEM demonstrated that the average sizes of spherical cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were and nm at culture times of 36 42 and 48 h respectively. Also the UV-vis and photoluminescence spectral analysis of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were performed. Keywords Biosynthesis Cadmium sulfide Nanoparticles Rhodobacter sphaeroides Introduction Biosynthesis of nanomaterials as a novel nanoparticle synthesizing technology attracts increasing attention. It is well known that many organisms can provide inorganic materials either intra- or extracellularly 1 2 .
