Applications of silver nanoparticles synthesized from <i>Pichia kudriavzevii</i> bioflocculant isolated from Kombucha tea SCOBY.

ABSTRACT: Studying the utilization of natural products in the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) recently appears to be a fascinating area of research within nanotechnology. These nanoparticles exhibit biocompatibility and inherent stability, making them highly suitable for various industrial applications. The utilization of bioflocculant-synthesized Ag nanoparticles was investigated in this study for the purpose of eliminating diverse pollutants and dyes from wastewater and solutions. In this study, Ag nanoparticles were successfully synthesized through a green method utilizing a bioflocculant derived from Pichia kudriavzevii isolated from Kombucha tea SCOBY as a stabilizing agent. The resulting nanoparticles were then evaluated for their flocculation and antimicrobial properties.
