Application of green silver nanoparticles synthesized from the red seaweeds Halymenia porphyriformis and Solieria robusta against oral pathogenic bacteria by using microscopic technique
Abstract:Aqueous extracts of two red seaweeds Halymenia porphyriformis and Solieria robusta were used to synthesize green silver nanoparticles. These biogenic nanoparticles were tested against four strains of oral pathogenic bacteria which cause tooth decay or cavities. Staphylococcus aureus (MT416445), Streptococcus viridans (MT416448), Lactobacillus acidophilus (MT416447) and Lactobacillus brevis (MT416446) were used. Characterization of AgNPs was done by UV-Visible spectroscopy, SEM, XRD and FTIR. XRD analysis revea… Show more
“…The red seaweeds Solieria robusta and Halymenia porphyriformis were found to be useful in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles ( Khan et al, 2022b ). These nanoparticles from biogenic origin were investigated for their ability to inhibit oral pathogenic microorganisms that cause cavities or tooth decay.…”
