Synthesis and evaluation of ecotoxicity and antimicrobial action of arabinogalactan-stabilized bismuth nanoparticles
摘要
Water-soluble hybrid nanocomposites consisting of zero-valent bismuth nanoparticles with a size of 8.0–22.0 nm have been synthesized for the first time using the stabilizing ability of natural polysaccharide arabinogalactan. The structure of the nanocomposites was characterized by a complex of physicochemical methods: phase X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Ecotoxicity and antimicrobial activity of the prepared bismuth-containing nanocomposites were studied using available biological test systems of various types. The latter has a pronounced dose-dependent character.
