Herein, an eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) was carried out using an extract of . The biological reduction and size of NPS were optimized by controlling the physicochemical parameters such as concentration, temperature, and pH.

Pretreatment by using ionic liquids (ILs) is considered promising but the high cost is an impediment in its adoption, therefore, a mixture of IL pretreated and untreated SB was utilized to obtain bacterial multienzyme under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Bacillus aestuarii UE25, a thermophilic strain was utilized for that purpose.
