Biosynthesis of fluorescent, semiconductor lead selenide (PbSe) quantum rods was initiated in lead and selenium tolerant marine Aspergillus terreus. TEM and SEM images revealed the formation of rod like structures having an average diameter of 59 nm. Compositional analysis using EDAX followed by optical and structural characterization by XRD, UV-vis and FTIR spectrophotometry confirmed the biogenesis of crystalline PbSe nanoparticles with quantum confinement effects.
