A low‐cost green and reproducible microbe ( Lactobacillus sp.)‐mediated biosynthesis of Sb 2 O 3 nanoparticles is reported. The synthesis was performed at around room temperature. X‐ray and transmission electron microscopy analyses were performed to ascertain the formation of Sb 2 O 3 nanoparticles. X‐ray analysis indicated that Sb 2 O 3 nanoparticles had a face‐centered cubic unit cell structure. Individual nanoparticles as well as a few aggregates of 3–12 nm were found. A possible mechanism for the synthesis of nano Sb 2 O 3 is proposed.
