Publication date: Available online 31 December 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Seerangaraj Vasantharaj, Selvam Sathiyavimal, Mythili Saravanan, Palanisamy Senthilkumar, G. Kavitha, Muthiah Shanmugavel, Elayaperumal Manikandan, Arivalagan PugazhendhiAbstractGrowing concerns over the toxicity of metallic nanoparticles synthesized using physical and chemical techniques seems to be a major hurdle for researchers. Green synthesis of nanoparticles is one of the promising, ecofriendly and safer methods. Utilizing plant sources as reducing agents will replace the use of toxic chemicals for nanoparticle synthesis. Among the various nanoparticles, copper has been theoretically and practically proved for its antimicrobial properties. However, to reduce the ...
