Sunlight mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles by a novel actinobacterium (Sinomonas mesophila MPKL 26) and its antimicrobial activity against multi drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles against Staphylococcus warneri Synthesized Using Endophytic Bacteria by Photo-irradiation

“…The sunlight acted as a catalyst, due to photo-excitation, which creates hot electron-hole pairs that are produced by excited molecules. The hot electron-hole pairs were then transferred to surface-adsorbed reducing agent excess electrons, free radicals (such as ${\mathrm{O}}_2^{\bullet -}$) and reduced silverions, which resulted in neutralized silver atoms (Ulug et al, 2015; Manikprabhu et al, 2016). …”

Photobiologic-mediated fabrication of silver nanoparticles with antibacterial activity

“…Use of LED lamps as a light source has several advantages, such as localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enhancement [10][11][12], control of morphology and optical properties [13], improved membrane performance [14], high photon efficiency, creation of low-voltage electricity, power stability, accuracy, and low cost [15]. Given recent advances in the application of LEDs in photocatalytic reactions, we have studied the synthesis of AgNPs using blue LED light [11].…”

Draft Genome Sequence of MPKL 26, the Type Strain of the Novel Species Sinomonas mesophila

“…Members of the genus Sinomonas have the ability to produce silver nanoparticles (3), can hydrolyze starch (4), and are used for biodesulfurization coal (5). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain MPKL 26, the type strain of the novel species Sinomonas mesophila , which has the ability to produce silver nanoparticles (3). …”
