Synthesis and Characterization of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles Using Aqueous Extract of Seaweed, Turbinaria conoides, and Their Antimicrofouling Activity

Silver and gold nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous extract of the seaweed Turbinaria conoides and their antibiofilm activity against marine biofilm forming bacteria is reported here. The UV-Vis spectra showed the characteristics SPR absorption band for Ag NPs at 421 and for Au NPs at 5...
