Sunlight mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles using redox phytoprotein and their application in catalysis and colorimetric mercury sensing

Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Using the Endophytic Bacterium Pantoea ananatis are Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

“…In the present study, the Zeta potential values of the synthesized AgNPs (Table 2, Figure 6) observed in triplicate were found to be negative, due to the presence of a high number of negatively charged functional groups on the surface of the synthesized AgNPs [44]. The mean of the zeta potential value was found as −7.48 ± 0.64 mV, which strongly supports the formation of moderately stable colloidal AgNPs [44,45,48,65,70].…”

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle using extract of Zea mays (corn flour) and investigation of its cytotoxicity effect and radical scavenging potential

“…Metal nanoparticles compared to their bulk counterparts possesses a number of physical and chemical properties like catalytic, electrical, optical and magnetic properties [1,2]. In modern years, synthesis of AgNPs drew much attention due to its catalytic [3], optical [4], antibacterial properties [5][6][7] and substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy [8]. Various methods such as physical [9][10][11], chemical [12][13][14] and biological approaches [15][16][17][18] are being used for the manufacture of silver nanoparticles.…”

Nanosilver: new ageless and versatile biomedical therapeutic scaffold

“…These nanoparticles had strong bactericidal potential and good catalytic property toward methyl red and methylene blue. 233 A recent study on the effect of AgNPs (13.4 nm) against E. coli and S. aureus found their MIC values to be below 6.6 nM and above 33 nM, respectively. 234 Another study was conducted against the bacterium E. coli.…”
