green synthesis of nanoparticles, as fundamental building blocks of nanotechnology, has recently attracted considerable attention. silver nanoparticles have unique physiochemical, biological and environmental properties which make them useful in a wide range of applications. in the present paper we report our research results on biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver precursor using m...

Objective: To synthesize silver nanoparticles extracellularly using Bacillus sp. isolated from soil sample. Methods: Bacteria capable of synthesizing silver nanoparticles extracellularly were screened by treating culture supernatant with silver nitrate solution. The potential isolate was isolated on nutrient agar medium and identified by Gram staining and biochemical tests. Results: One of the ...

Disease-causing microbes that have become resistant to drug therapy are an increasing public health problem. Therefore there is an urgent need to develop new bactericides. Silver nanoparticles are the metal of choice as they hold the promise to kill microbes effectively. Silver nanoparticles take advantages of the oligodynamic effect that silver has on microbes. In this work we have synthesized...

We report the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using Euphorbia condylocarpa M. bieb root extract for the synthesis of N-monosubstituted ureas in water. UV-visible studies show the absorption band at 420 nm due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the silver nanoparticles. This reveals the reduction of silver ions (Ag+) to silver (Ago) which indicates the formation of silver nanoparti...

The role of an antioxidant in cancer prevention has led to the development its synthesis, including green tea-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are natural antioxidants. biogenic AgNPs were synthesized electrochemically from pure wire using local tea extract for first time, with a characteristic peak at 420 nm. method shortened reaction time and produced long-term stable narrow-size di...

silver nanoparticles are increasingly used in various fields of biotechnology and applications in the medicine. objectives of this study were optimization of production of silver nanoparticles using biotransformations by fusarium oxysporum, and a further study on the location of nanoparticles synthesis in this microorganism. the reaction mixture contained the following ingredients (final concen...

In this experiment, green-synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles were produced rapidly by treating silver and gold ions with an extract of Memecylon umbellatum leaf. The reaction process was simple and easy to handle, and was monitored using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The effect of the phytochemicals present in M. umbellatum, including saponins, phenolic compounds, phytosterols, and q...
