Abstract
The biological production of nanoparticles has taken center stage among the various generation methods available owing to its environment-friendly characteristics and reduced energy requirements. A protocol for pigment-assisted silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis was established, employing an extracellular composite pigment produced by the Ascomycota Talaromyces purpurogenus (presently Talaromyces purpureogenus). The extracellular pigment can reduce the precursor silver salt into nanoparticles in the presence of sodium hydroxide and light. Transmission electron microscopy may be used to characterize the bio-generated nanoparticles, which can also be tested for their biological properties using antimicrobial and anticancer assays.Entities:
