EXTRACTION OF EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE FROM ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM GRDAA AND THE APPLICATION OF ITS SILVER NANOPARTICLES IN DEGRADATION OF AZO DYES
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study was delineated on synthesis and characterization of exopolysaccharides (EPS)- stabilized silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) were carried out for the degradation of industrial textile dye. The green synthesis of AgNPs was
performed using bacterial EPS as reducing and stabilizing agent. SEM analysis revealed that spherical-shaped AgNPs
stabilized by EPS and AgNPs are homogenous and stable for longer duration as determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy and
FTIR analysis. EDX results with high peak of Ag that signifies its presence in the suspension. The efficient degradation of
textile dyes such as Methyl orange (MO), Congo red (CR) and food coloring agents Yellow and Green was attempted
with EPS stabilized AgNPs and it was found to be better than bacterial degradation and AgNPs. These EPS-stabilized
AgNPs can further be used as environmental friendly and a low cost strategy for degradation of harmful dyes with
potential applications in textile industries and food additives.
