Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles /Clusters Synthesis Characterization by Scanning Electron Microscopy and 2D-3D Topographical Analysis by Mountain -®- graphical tool
Author(s): Yuvaraj Sampathkumar, Elumalai S*, Manikandan E and Mohana Priya
The microalgae were exposed to Silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution and screened for their suitability for the production of nano-silver (nano-Ag).The intracellular and extracellular enzyme are secreted by microalgae(Phormidium sp.).The microalgae extract contain various active biomolecules such as superoxide dismutase, oxidoreductases, NADH-dependent enzymes, active bio-molecules (lipid, exopolymers, peptides), some protein and pigment phycobiliproteins play a major role in the formation of nanocluster and structures in the nanometer range, confirmed by change the brown colour indicates silver nanoparticle (Ag-NPs) synthesis. Extracted biogenic silver nanoparticles and its characterization studies which is applied on the Scanning Microscopic field to analysis the 2D, 3D topographical structure. The Mountain -®-expert graphical tool play an important role in structural predict.. View more»
