The present study mainly focuses of combined action of Nepali hog plum as well as citrate synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Amikacin, as an antibiotic. The synergistic actions of citrate stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs with chem) were compared with that of Nepali hog plum Choerospondia saxillaris (Lapsi) synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs with plant), together with action...

Here in this paper we have reported the extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by using filamentous fungi Penicillium sp. The Penicillium sp. was isolated from the soil sample collected from vegetable market in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The purified fungal culture was subjected for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. The color change of the solution in the conical flask into...

In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized  using the fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus. The effects of three independent variables including glucose content of culture media, initial pH and initial spore concentration on biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles were investigated. These variables affect cell morphology, cell mass, size and morphology of silver nanoparticles and degree of silv...

Traditional synthesis of silver nanoparticles using chemical methods produces toxic substances. In contrast biological synthesis is regarded as a safe and nontoxic process but the major drawback of biological synthesis is, this process is slow. In the present investigation, we developed a rapid and green synthesis of silver nanoparticles employing a pigment produced by Streptomyces coelicolor k...

The mass-transport to a spherical particle in solution is considered in the context of the mechanism of oxygen reduction on silver nanoparticles. For small particles (≤1 μm) the reduction follows a twoproton, two-electron pathway due to the rapid diffusion of the intermediate hydrogen peroxide away from the interface. Above this size threshold the hydrogen peroxide is further reduced to water. ...

Nanotechnology has great promise for improving the therapeutic potential of medicinal molecules and related agents. In this study, silver nanoparticles of different sizes were synthesized in an ultrasonic field using the chemical reduction method with sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The size effect of silver nanoparticles on antimicrobial activity were tested against the microorganisms ...

recently there has been fabulous excitement in the nano-biotechnological area for the study of nanoparticles synthesis using some natural biological system, which has led the growth advanced nanomaterials. this intention made us to assess the biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles from the leaf of suaeda monoica (s.monoica) using 1 mm silver nitrate. the leaf extract of s.monoica incubat...

background: the increasing use of nanomaterials and nanoproducts has increased the possibility of contamination of the environment, which may have adverse effects on different organisms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles on histopathology and gill ultrastructure of zebrafish (danio rerio) under laboratory conditions. methods: zebrafish were exposed to fou...

we have used lithium aluminum hydroxide reducing method of silver nitrate to prepare heterogeneous silver-silica nanocomposite particles with thiol and amino groups serving to bind the ag nanoparticles to the surfaces of the sio2 nanoparticles. we examined products of these reductions using ftir, sem, xrd and uv-vis. spectroscopy. the sio2 nanoparticles had diameters ranging from 70 to 90 nm; t...

BACKGROUND Gum ghatti is a proteinaceous edible, exudate tree gum of India and is also used in traditional medicine. A facile and ecofriendly green method has been developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate using gum ghatti (Anogeissus latifolia) as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The influence of concentration of gum and reaction time on the synthesis of nanopart...
