“…The increase in the SPR band with decreasing AgNO 3 /lichen ratio represents the higher production of Ag nanoparticles, which is due to the availability of more reducing biomolecules for the reduction of Ag ions. The higher Ag nanoparticles' size is obtained at high AgNO 3 / lichen ratio due to the lack of biomolecules [35]. Figures 2-4 show representative TEM images and the corresponding size distribution histogram of Ag nanoparticles.…”

“…The positive charge of a silver ion is critical for antimicrobial activity, allowing electrostatic attraction between the negative charges of the bacterial cell membrane and positively charged silver particles causing cell membrane rupturing [17,[20][21][22] . Low concentrations of silver ions were demonstrated to have the ability to induce a massive proton leakage through the bacterial membrane causing subsequent cell death [23,24] .…”

“…The widespread cases of multidrug resistant bacteria against the standard antibiotics have led scientists to potentially incorporate AgNPs and other nanomaterials as ingredient to enhance the antibiotic efficacy (Ali et al, 2016). In some cases, all the microbes were all eliminated (Sathishkumar et al, 2009). There have been several proposed mechanisms on how AgNPs work as antibacterial, although the exact mechanism is still unknown.…”
