Green Synthesis of Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the Mucus of the Garden Snail .

The green synthesis of metal nanoparticles, mediated by extracts from various biological sources, leads to the formation of nanoparticles with unique characteristics and potential biomedical applications. In this study, a fraction of the mucus from the snail with MW > 20 kDa was used as a bioreducing and biostabilizing agent to obtain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in different pH media (pH 1.5, 3.
