Biological Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from saprolegnia parasitica

Abstract

An eco-friendly method to synthesis silver nanoparticles using aquatic fungus Saprolegnia parasitica was investigated in current study. The formation of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was initially confirmed by the UV-Visible Spectroscopy. As well as using FT-IR, SEM, and EDX. UV Visible analysis showed a strong peak at 428 nm, the SEM images of the biosynthesized AgNPs showed spherical shape with average of the nanoparticls diameter 37 nm range.
