Synthesis of metal nanoparticles using yeast strains Saccharomyces Cerevisae and Saccharomyces Boulardi

Abstract

The development of an environmentally friendly process for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles is an important step in the field of nanotechnology. One way to achieve this goal is to use biological systems. In this study, silver nanoparticles were obtained using extracellular enzymes of organisms of the Saccharomyces boulardi strain. The effect of the pH of the medium on the synthesis of nanoparticles was studied. The antimicrobial activity of the obtained nanoparticles was investigated.
