Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Produced Using Geobacillus spp. Bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for their unique physical and chemical properties, which can be incorporated into a wide range of applications. The growing resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial compounds promoted the use of AgNPs in antimicrobial therapy. AgNPs can be obtained using physical and chemical methods, but these technologies are highly unfriendly to nature and produce large amounts of side compounds (for example, sodium borohydride and N,N-dimethylformamide). Therefore, alternative technologies are required for obtaining AgNPs. This report focuses on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles through the reduction of Ag⁺ with the cell-free secretomes of four Geobacillus bacterial strains, namely, 18, 25, 95, and 612.
