Biosynthesis of silver nanocrystals by Bacillus licheniformis

Green Extracellular Synthesis of the Silver Nanoparticles Using Thermophilic Bacillus Sp. AZ1 and its Antimicrobial Activity Against Several Human Pathogenetic Bacteria

“…There are numerous reports regarding extracellular synthesis of the AgNPs by Bacillus species generated with the different sizes (31,32,36,37). Also, in 2008 two studies have been reported on the synthesis of AgNPs using Bacillus licheniformis by Kalishwaralal et al (13,19). age particle size around 40 and 50 nm.…”

“…The extracellular biosynthesis of the nanoparticles is economic compared to the intracellular method, because of the simplicity of the production process. The intracellular biosynthesis method requires some additional steps such as application of suitable detergents or ultrasonic treatment for releasing of the synthesized nanoparticles (19,20). In this study, we have used the culture supernatant containing silver nanoparticles of the thermophilic Bacillus sp.…”

Synthesis and characterization of Solanum nigrum-mediated silver nanoparticles and its protective effect on alloxan-induced diabetic rats

“…AgNPs are usually a cluster of particles ranging between 1 and 100 nm in size and they exhibit new properties based on their size, distribution and morphology [12]. Nanoparticles are becoming the focus of intensive research, due to their wide range of applications in areas such as catalysis, optics, antimicrobials, and biomaterial production [13,14].…”

Effect of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles on Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Quenching and Prevention of Biofilm Formation

“…Biological methods are regarded as safe, cost-effective, sustainable and environment friendly processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles [2]. Silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using various bacteria [3][4][5], fungi [6,7] and plants [8,9].…”
