Green Chemistry Based Gold Nanoparticles Synthesis Using the Marine Bacterium PBCW2 and Their Multitudinous Activities.

Green chemistry has paved an 'avant-garde avenue' in the production and fabrication of eco-friendly stable nanoparticles employing the utilization of biological agents. In the present study we present the first report on the potential of the marine bacterium PBCW2 for the extracellular production of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Utilizing a variety of methods, AuNPs in the cell-free supernatant of (CFS-LBOE) were identified and their antioxidant, antibacterial, and dye-degrading properties were examined.
