Following the recent progress in magnetic nanotechnology, concern over the optimal benefits and potential risks of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe NPs), has increased. Hence, to minimize the negative impacts of inorganic Fe NPs, we report the phyco-synthesis and characterization of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 NPs via reduction of ferric/ferrous chloride solution (2:1 M ratio; 88 °C) with green macroalga, Ulva flexuosa (wulfen) J.Agardh aqueous extract. The biogenic process is clean, eco-friendly, rapid, and facile to handle. These green fabricated magnetite NPs are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), particle size analysers (PSA), zeta potential (ZP) measurement, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. The results confirmed that the cubo-spherical, polydisperse of biosynthesized Fe3O4 NPs with an average diameter of 12.3 nm was formed. The antagonistic effects of algal extract, chemo-route and U. flexuosa-derived Fe3O4 MgNPs on selective human pathogenic microbes (i.e. n = 11) resulted in strong antibacterial and moderate antifungal activity. The comparative toxic and reproductive effects of the chemo- and bio-routes of Fe3O4-MgNPs against rotifer B. rotundiformis exhibited low acute toxicity with a lower inducing effect of biogenic nano-magnetite on reduction rotifer reproductive rate than its chemogenic counterpart. In view of the nanoecotoxicity, though the current study covered a wide range of exposure concentrations (10-500 mg/L) of organic and inorganic nano sizes of Fe3O4 in brackish water rotifer, a biotoxicity assay at higher dosage or a comprehensive risk assessment in different aqua-organisms is recommended.
