| Abstract |
The development of a safe and eco-friendly method for metal nanoparticle synthesis has an increasing demand, due to emerging environmental and biological harms of hazardous chemicals used in existing nanosynthesis methods. The present investigation reports a rapid one-step, eco-friendly and green approach for the formation of nanosized silver particles (AgNPs) using extracellular non-toxic-colored fungal metabolites (Monascus pigments-MPs). The formation of nanosized silver particles utilizing Monascus pigments was confirmed after exposure of reaction mixture to sunlight, by visually color change and further established by spectrophotometric analysis. The size, shape, and topography of synthesized MPs-AgNPs were well-defined using different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, i.e., FE-SEM, HR-TEM, and DLS. The average size of MPs-AgNPs was found to be 10-40 nm with a spherical shape which was highly stable and dispersed in the solution. HR-TEM and XRD confirmed crystalline nature of MPs-AgNPs. The biocidal potential of MPs-AgNPs was evaluated against three bacterial pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus and it was observed that the MPs-AgNPs significantly inhibited the growth of all three bacterial pathogens. The anti-biofilm activity of MPs-AgNPs was recorded against antibiotic-resistant P. aeruginosa. Besides, the colorimetric metal sensing using MPs-AgNPs was studied. Among the metals tested, the selective Hg2+-sensing potential at micromolar concentration was observed. In conclusion, this is the rapid one-step (within 12-15 min), environment-friendly method for synthesis of AgNPs and synthesized MPs-AgNPs could be used as a potential antibacterial agent against antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 February 2018.
All research outputs
#17,350,971
of 25,461,852 outputs
Outputs from Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering
#412
of 604 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#287,764
of 454,020 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,461,852 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 604 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 454,020 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
