Abstract:Algal-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) opens the horizon for green and sustainable synthesis of NPs that can be used in many fields, such as medicine and industry. We extracellularly synthesized silver NPs (Ag-NPs) using the novel microalgae Planophila laetevirens under optimized conditions. The isolate was collected from freshwater/soil, purified, morphologically identified, and genetically identified using light, inverted light, scanning electron microscopy, and 18S rRNA sequencing. The phytochemica… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
