Abstract
Production of protein encapsulated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) assisted by marine actinomycetes strain has been investigated. The selective isolate was identified as Streptomyces parvulus SSNP11 based on chemotaxonomic and 16S rRNA analysis. Maximum AgNPs production was observed within 24h incubation time. The produced AgNPs are spherical in shape with monodispersive and crystalline in nature. The particle size distribution ranges from 1.66 to 11.68nm with a mean size of 2.1nm. The biosynthesized AgNPs revealed stretching vibrations of primary and secondary amines along with C-H and C-N, suggesting that metabolically produced proteins are involved in size regulation of reduced AgNPs. These particles possess an average negative zeta potential value of 81.5mV with an electrophoretic mobility of 0.000628cm(2)/Vs. The biosynthesized nanoparticles revealed antimicrobial property against gram negative as well as gram positive bacterial strains.
