Synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Indian red yeast rice and its inhibition of biofilm in copper metal in cooling water environment.

The development of environmentally acceptable benign techniques using purely natural methods is a cost-effective procedure with long-term benefits in all areas. With this consideration, myco synthesized silver nano particles (AgNPs) were studied and it acted as an impending corrosion inhibitor in the environment. Initially, AgNPs were evaluated by physical and surface characterizations and this evidence demonstrated that RYRE's water-soluble molecules played an essential role in the synthesis of AgNPs in nano spherical size.

Macrolepiota-mediated synthesized silver nanoparticles as a green corrosive inhibitor for mild steel in re-circulating cooling water system.

A simple, cost effective and eco-friendly silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) was synthesized by wild edible Macrolepiota mushroom. Nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible, FTIR, XRD analysis and TEM analysis. The characterized studies confirmed the spherical shape of AgNPs with 20-50 nm size.
