Pigment mediated biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles using diatom Amphora sp. and its antimicrobial activity

Light induced biosynthesis of polycrystalline silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using the aqueous extract of a diatom Amphora-46 was studied. Rapid formation of stable SNPs was observed only on exposure of the reaction mixture to light. Strong surface plasmon resonance at 415 nm due to SNP formation was c...
