Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticle by Cytobacillus firmus isolated from the river sediment with potential antimicrobial properties against Edwardsiella tarda.

ABSTRACT: The aquatic environment, independent of their host, is more favorable to pathogenic bacteria than the terrestrial environment. Consequently, pathogenic bacteria can reach very high densities around aquatic animals and can cause high mortality. The conventional approach, such as antibiotics, has minimal effectiveness. Additionally, due to the emergence of (multiple) resistance, their use is under intense scientific and public scrutiny. Hence, there is a need for the development of alternative control techniques, with an emphasis on prevention, which is likely to be more cost-effective. In this study, a potential bacterial strain Cytobacillus firmus was isolated from polluted river sediment and characterized using a comprehensive range of techniques including biochemical, 16S rRNA seq
