Biosynthetic Conversion of Ag+ to highly Stable Ag0 Nanoparticles by Wild Type and Cell Wall Deficient Strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Biosynthetic Conversion of Ag+ to highly Stable Ag0 Nanoparticles by Wild Type and Cell Wall Deficient Strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

In the current study, two different strains of the green, freshwater microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii bioreduced Ag+ to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which have applications in biosensors, biomaterials, and therapeutic and diagnostic tools. The bioreduction takes place in cell cultures of C. rein...
