Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Keratinase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa-C1M, characterization and applications as novel multifunctional biocatalyst
This study demonstrates, for the first time, that keratinase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa-C1M can be used for AgNPs synthesis. The biogenic AgNPs exhibited potent antibacterial activity and played a crucial role in detoxifying hazardous azo dyes. These findings highlight the dual-functional potential of AgNPs for applications in antimicrobial treatments and environmental remediation. Future studies should explore their mechanism of action, scalability, and industrial applications.
