Abstract
The development of biohybrid nanocellulosic film was successfully achieved with synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles from Vaccinium vitis idaea L. and their hybridization onto cellulose film. The characterization of biohybrid nanocellulosic film showed increased mechanical strength and conductivity. The developed film demonstrated antibacterial activity against medically important pathogens with highest activity was observed against A. baumannii strain and E. coli was less susceptible. Additionally, the film exhibited improved seed germination rate of Oryza Savita and showed catalytic activity in safranin dye degradation. Furthermore, the biohybrid nanocellulosic film extended the shelf life of tomato by preventing microbial spoilage and retained the freshness. Overall, the results obtained in the present investigation are promising with multiplicative properties of the films.
