Abstrakt: A study conducted at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, focused on the isolation and identification of probiotic bacteria capable of biosynthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and assessing their biological activities. The researchers found that one particular isolate, HwOs-2, was able to synthesize spherical AgNPs ranging from 6 to 23 nm in size. These nanoparticles displayed antibacterial efficacy against various bacterial strains and exhibited antitumor activity against certain cell lines. The study highlights the biomedical potential of AgNPs produced by Limosilactobacillus fermentum. [Extracted from the article]
