Kernel Metadata Declaration — on demand

ISO 26324 asks a DOI Registration Agency to produce a Kernel Metadata Declaration for every DOI it issues. Give any DOI: its public record becomes a record in the Smart Scholars DOI Metadata Format 1.0, checked against every rule, and declared as the Kernel XML.

Reads the DOI's public Crossref record; nothing is stored. Until Smart Scholars is accredited, every Declaration is marked as a draft in the XML itself.

✓ Meets every rule of the format

The record below is complete and every controlled value is a DOI Attribute Value Set 2.3 spelling. The Declaration on the right follows DOIMetadataKernel.xsd element by element.

        "value": "The most abundant organisms in our biosphere are bacteria as Escherichia coli. Slight climate changes can potentially be disastrous to the life processes of bacteria; this can result in the prolific advantage for the production of nanoparticles.On the other hand synthesis of metal nanoparticles by eukaryotic cells such as fungi Aspergillus niger is reported. A. niger have the advantage of producing very high yields of secreted proteins, which may increase nanoparticle synthesis rate. Mycelia provide a much higher surface area than bacteria and this area could be used to support the interaction of metal ions and fungal reducing agent thus enhancing the reduction of metal nanoparticles. The bio reduction of NPs was monitored by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and the nanoparticles obtained were characterized by electron microscopy. In bacterial culture ZnO and Pb(NO3)2NPs have sharp absorbance with the highest peak at 300nm and 250nm respectively. On the other hand, in fungal culture ZnO and Pb(NO3)2NPs have highest absorbance peak at 230nm and 240nm respectively. The synthesized NPs (fungal biomass) were almost spherical in shape and some of them were aggregated ranging in size from 30-70nm and 10-50nm stabilized in the solution. Furthermore, the antimicrobial potential of zinc and lead nanoparticles was systematically evaluated. The synthesized nanoparticles could efficiently inhibit various pathogenic organisms, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The bactericidal effect of zinc and lead nanoparticles were compared based on diameter of inhibition zone in agar diffusion assay, disc method tests and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).",

Everything Smart Scholars runsNine sites, one account. A journal starts at the audit; an author starts at Scholar Shield.

For journals & publishers

Start with the audit — it is free, and it is the gate to everything else.

DOI care

Nine services on one journal profile — each previews first and acts only on your approval.

For authors & researchers

Free to use. Nothing you check is shared with the journal.

For institutions, sponsors & DOI operators

Smart Scholars

Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00 IST. The Ask AI button on every page answers about our services at any hour.
