The present study focused on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Ulva flexousa (green seaweed). Ten ml of the aqueous extract of alga was mixed with 90 ml of 1mM aqueous AgNO3 solution for reducing of Ag+ ions. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectra, XRD (X-ray diffraction), TEM (Transmission electron microscopy) and FT-IR (Fouri...

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by an enzyme-induced growth process on solid substrates. In order to customize the enzymatically grown nanoparticles (EGNP) for analytical applications in biomolecular research, a detailed study was carried out concerning the time evolution of the formation of the silver nanoparticles, their morphology, and their chemical composition. Therefore, silver-nano...

Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plants as sources exhibiting superiority over the physical and chemical methods that are expensive and can involve the use of toxic, hazardous chemicals, which may pose biological and environmental risks. In present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized in single step by biological method using extracts of Actinidia deliciosa paste as reducing and st...

an experiment was conducted with 855 fertilized eggs in 8 treatments (injection in 5th day of incubation) and 11 treatments (injection in 17th day of incubation) with 3 replicates of 15 eggs each. treatments included first control (no injection), second control (injection of 0.5 ml. of sodium chloride); in 5th day, experimental treatments included 30 and 45 mg. silver nanoparticles, and 100 mg....

BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance is a global issue that threatens public health. The excessive use of antibiotics contributes to this problem as the genes of antibiotic resistance can be transferred between the bacteria in humans, animals and aquatic organisms. Metallic nanoparticles could serve as future substitutes for some conventional antibiotics because of their antimicrobial activity. The...

extracellular extract for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using AgNO3. The formation of nanoparticles was confirmed by different methods, such as UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, EDX, and TEM analysis. The formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was confirmed by the change in color from light yellow to dark brown. The absorbance peak obtained at 430 nm confirmed the presence o...
