INTRACELLULAR SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING FOOD PROBIOTIC LACTOBACILLUS REUTERI WITH CHARECTERIZATIONS

Abstract

A green production of silver nanoparticles (AgNps) utilizing Lactobacillus reuteri is described in this work. Analysis using a scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and atomic force microscope revealed that the characterized AgNps had a nearly spherical shape. The nanoparticles exhibited a semi-textured surface, with certain particles showing surface protrusions and clearly defined edges.
