	abstract = {<p>Synthesis of nanoparticles by environment friendly method is an important aspect of nanotechnology. In the present study, extracellular reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles was carried out using living peanut plant. The electron microscopic analysis shows that the formed nanoparticles were of different shapes and sizes. The formed nanoparticles were polydispersed. The shapes of the nanoparticles were spherical, square, triangle, hexagonal and rod. Most of the particles were spherical and 56 nm in size. EDS analysis confirmed the formed nanoparticles were of silver. The crystalline nature of nanoparticles was confirmed by diffraction. This method opens up an exciting possibility of plant-based synthesis of other inorganic nanomaterials. This study confirms the synthesis of extracellular silver nanoparticles by living plant.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>There is growing need to develop environment friendly method for synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticle that do not use toxic chemicals during their synthesis process. Here, we report synthesis of Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles by using macerase enzyme as reducing agent at different temperatures. Bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized at 80 and 90 degrees C. The intensity of formation of nanoparticles was more at 80 degrees C. The bimetallic nanoparticles are characterized by using UV-vis, TEM and EDAX. The TEM study shows the inner gold and outer silver bimetallic nanoparticles. The formed nanoparticles are 4-20 nm in size and spherical in shape. EDAX confirms the formed bimetallic nanoparticles are of gold and silver. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
