Journal ArticleDOI
Strain specificity in antimicrobial activity of silver and copper nanoparticles
TL;DR: The antimicrobial properties of silver and copper nanoparticles were investigated using Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and found that while silver was in its pure form, an oxide layer existed on the Copper nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-controlled silver nanoparticles synthesized over the range 5–100 nm using the same protocol and their antibacterial efficacy
TL;DR: The bacteriostatic/bactericidal effect of AgNPs is found to be size and dose-dependent as determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of silver nanoparticles against four bacterial strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilized silver nanoparticles enhance contact killing and show highest efficacy: elucidation of the mechanism of bactericidal action of silver
TL;DR: In this study, AgNPs were immobilized on an amine-functionalized silica surface and their bactericidal activity was studied concurrently with the silver release profile over time, concluding that contact killing is the predominant bactericidal mechanism and surface immobilized nanoparticles show greater efficacy than colloidal AgNPS, as well as a higher concentration of silver ions in solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on advantages of implementing luminescence inhibition test (Vibrio fischeri) for acute toxicity prediction of chemicals.
TL;DR: The Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence assay is reported to detect toxicity across a wide spectrum of toxicants and is often chosen as the first test in a test battery based on speed and cost consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of carbon nanomaterials for removal of heavy metals from water
TL;DR: In this paper, two carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) were synthesized using turpentine oil in a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) setup by varying the process parameters.
