legionella pneumophila is the pathogen responsible for severe pneumonia known as legionnaires’ disease. legionella can live under varied stress conditions, especially in cold environments, and is common in many artificial environments. in this study, the antimicrobial activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles, prepared using the culture supernatant of klebsiella pneumoniae, was evaluated agains...

Silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. A simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles.  The present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...

the silver nanoparticles are well-known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory wound healing abilities. we synthesized silver nanoparticles using chemical reduction method and the formation of the silver nanoparticles was characterized by uv-vis absorption spectroscopy, ft-ir and sem techniques. the minimum inhibitory concentration of the synthesized nanoparticles was determined for both gr...

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...

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...

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...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite on performance traits, liver enzymes and blood lipid concentrations to use 375 cobb 500 broiler chickens in completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates and 15 birds to each replicate. the use of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite improved feed conversion rat...

in this study silver/poly vinyl alcohol (pva) and silver/poly vinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) nanocomposites were prepared via reduction of silver salt by employing dmf (n, n`- dimethyl formamide) as a reducing agent. effects of protective agents such as pva and pvp were also described here. we show that the acidic ph of pvp solution also affects the interaction between protective agents and silver nan...
