Biological Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Aspergillus flavus, Isolated from Soil of Ahar Copper Mine
In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the fungus, Aspergillus flavus at high yield with an aqueous solution of AgNo3. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed using UV-visible spectrophotometer and their presence was displayed by XRD studies. The size and place formation of silver nanoparticles were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
