TL;DR: Using the bacterium Bacillus licheniformis, the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was investigated and the formation of well-dispersedsilver nanoparticles of 50 nm was revealed, and the presence of silver was confirmed by EDX analysis.

TL;DR: The optimal conditions for maximum synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) through reduction of Ag(+) ions by the culture supernatant of Escherichia coli are reported and it is demonstrated that particle size could be controlled by varying the parameters such as temperature, pH and concentration of AgNO(3).

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the futuristic application of silver nanoparticles in treating microbial keratitis based on its potential anti-biofilm activity that was tested in vitro on biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis during 24-h treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the steam explosion process is employed for the successful extraction of cellulose nanofibrils from pineapple leaf fibres for the first time, which is a very versatile material having a wide range of biomedical applications and biotechnological applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound dressings and medical implants.

TL;DR: An unprecedented green process for the production of spherical-shaped Au and Ag nanoparticles synthesized and stabilized using a bacterium, Brevibacterium casei, is demonstrated, which offers the benefits of ecofriendliness and amenability for large-scale production.
