Background: Biogenic nanoparticles are gaining attention due to their low toxicity and numerous biomedical applications. Present study aimed to compare the potential anticancer activity of two biogenic silver nanoparticles (bAgNPs and pAgNPs) against human cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa).
Methods: bAgNPs were synthesized using Acinetobacter sp.
Bacteriogenic synthesis of metal nanoparticles is ecofriendly and greatly influenced by physico-chemical reaction parameters with respect to shape and size. Thus, present work aimed to synthesize and optimization of bacteriogenic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and study their antioxidant activity. sp.

It is rapidly developing multi-drug resistance and also possesses surface colonization ability, which make it most difficult to treat through traditional antibiotics. This is an extensive study to describe the antibacterial activity of bacteriagenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against A.

Various enzymes and proteins have been suggested to play significant role in synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in bacteria. In present study, we have purified lignin peroxidase from secreted enzyme extract of Acinetobacter sp.
