Development and Antibacterial Activity of Cashew Gum-Based Silver Nanoparticles

Development and Antibacterial Activity of Cashew Gum-Based Silver Nanoparticles

The present study describes the development of a green synthesis of silver nanoparticles reduced and stabilized by exuded gum from Anacardium occidentale L. and evaluates in vitro their antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. Characterization of cashew gum-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carr...
