Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis Using Monosaccharides and Their Growth Inhibitory Activity against Gram-Negative and Positive Bacteria

Table 1

Size of the Ag NPs synthesized using various monosaccharides as reductant. Hydrodynamic diameters were determined by photon correlation spectroscopy and are the means of 5 runs ± standard deviation. Each run collected over 60 s.

Monosaccharide	Type	Size (nm)
Ribose (5C)	Aldopentose	10.3±0.8
Xylose (5C)	Aldopentose	24.8±1.8
Galactose (6C)	Aldohexose	31.0±3.1
Glucose (6C)	Aldohexose	35.2±3.8
Fructose (6C)	Ketohexose	22.7±4.6
Sorbose (6C)	Ketohexose	30.9±4.9
