Synthesis and biological characterization of silver nanoparticles derived from the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limnetica

Abstract Using aqueous cyanobacterial extracts in the synthesis of silver nanoparticle is looked as green, ecofriendly, low priced biotechnology that gives advancement over both chemical and physical methods. In the current study, an aqueous extract of Oscillatoria limnetica fresh biomass was used f...
