Optimization of Enterobacter cloacae mediated synthesis of extracellular silver nanoparticles by response surface methodology and their characterization

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with desired physicochemical properties using a cost-effective, energy, and time efficient way is vital. In this study, we have optimized the synthesis of AgNPs through protein containing cell-free supernatant of Enterobacter cloacae (SMP1). 23 full factorial central composite design (CCD) of the response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the process optimization. Individual and mutual interaction...
