SYNTHESIS OF BIOLOGICAL NANOPARTICLES FROM PROTEUS AND THEIR EFFECT ON PLANTLET GROWTH
Keywords:
2mM FeNPs; 2mM FeNPs + Proteus; Antioxidant scavenging capacity, Catalase activity, Total carbohydrate content, Reducing sugar content, Lipid percentage, Protein content.Abstract
Proteus sps. such as Proteus mirabilis are used to synthesise AgNPS and MgNPs but till now there is no biological NPs with Proteus vulgaris and in this study we synthesised Proteus vulgaris derived FeNPs and studied for its effect on plantlet growth of pearl millet and germination efficacy. After germination the NPs treated groups and control are studied for their biochemical characteristics like total carbohydrate content, reducing sugar content, Lipid percentage, Protein content, Antioxidant scavenging capacity, Catalase activity and chlorophyll content present in the seedling. Pearl millet seeds treated with 2mM FeNPs + Proteus showed better growth and improvement inavailability of bionutrients like total carbohydrate content, reducing sugar content, Lipid percentage, Protein content, Antioxidant scavenging capacity, Catalase activity and chlorophyll content compared to other treated groups followed by 2mM FeNPs
