<i>Bacillus</i>-Mediated Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis and Its Antagonistic Activity against Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens
In this article, the supernatant of the soil-borne pathogen <i>Bacillus</i> mn14 was used as the catalyst for the synthesis of AgNPs. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of Bs-AgNPs was evaluated, in which <i>S. viridans</i> and <i>R. solani</i> showed susce...
