Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Caulerpa racemosa and evaluation of its antibacterial and cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer cell line

The present study reports the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using ‘sea grapes’ (Macroalgae) of Caulerpa racemosa extract in a simple, fast and environmentally friendly biogenic method. The formation of spherical, stable, polycrystalline nanoparticles with an average size of 18–45 nm was de...
