Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the seaweed Gracilaria birdiae and their antibacterial activity

This work presents a simple method for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using as reducing and stabilizing agent a polysaccharide extracted from red algae Gracilaria birdiae present in the coast of Piauí. The AgNPS were prepared using three polysaccharide concentrations (0.02, 0.03...
