Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Chaetomorpha antennina (Boryde Saint-Vincent) Kutzing with Its Antibacterial Activity and Ecological Implication

Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticle by Amphiroa anceps (Lamarck) Decaisne and Its Biomedical and Ecological Implications

“…Seaweed extracts preparation: The red seaweed, Amphiroa anceps was collected from Rameshwaram, Olaikuda (09°18̍ .390̍ ̍ N and 079°20̍ .076̍ ̍ E) Gulf of Mannar ( Figure 1) and identified with available standard taxonomic key ( Figure 2). The extract of fresh seaweed was prepared according to the method followed by Roy et al [11,12].…”

“…The aqueous extract of seaweed and Silver Nitrate aqueous solution were used for biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles [11,12]. The colour change indicated the biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles [13].…”

“…The biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles was characterized with UV-2600 SHIMADZU UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, Perkin Elmer FTIR model 2000, Scanning Electron Microscope (JEOL JSM-5610LV) according to the methods mentioned [11,12]. The biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles was also characterized with Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis and XRD measurements.…”

“…Antimicrobial activity: The antimicrobial activity was tested according to standard method [11,12] and with little modification [3,[14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…It also inhibits the growth of some human pathogens [10]. Some other seaweed also is also reported to have better potentiality for seeds germination [10][11][12]. But there are more than 841 seaweeds reported from the Indian coast, likewise so many crops and vegetable seeds are available in our market.…”
