Facile Synthesis of Highly Uniform Selenium Nanoparticles with Antibacterial Activity on Bacillus subtilis
Abstract: In the light of diverse applications of Selenium nanoparticles in biomedical applications, a facile procedure has been developed to synthesize highly stable and monodisperse nanoparticles with Polysorbate 20 at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the Selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) were spherical in shape with uniform size of 43 nm. The antibacterial activity of Se NPs was investigated against Bacillus subtilis as a model gram-positive bacteria which showed …

Evaluation of Antibiofilm Potential of Alginate Encapsulated Selenium Nanoparticles
Abstract: Biofilm interfere in antibiotic therapy, undergo gene transformation to become highly virulent, develop quorum sensing and protect bacteria from host immunity. To combat these biofilms the encapsulation method of nanoparticles formation using PEG can be used as they are better alternative to chemical and physical methods. In the present study, the antibiofilm and antioxidant properties of the selenium nanoparticles produced by using probiotics have been evaluated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) …

Green Synthesis of Selenium Nano-metalloid from the extract of Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) leaf and its Antimicrobial Activities
Abstract: Green synthesis specifies the creation of nano-size particles (NPs) by a biological process using the reducing properties of metabolites in the plant extracts. The present work reports the use of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata.) leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) via the green route of synthesis. The as-prepared SeNPs were analyzed by UV–vis spectroscopy, FTIR, DLS, SEM, and EDX. Nano-crystalline SeNPs has …
