An environmentally friendly technique was used to produce levan-capped silver nanoparticles of about 30 nm (with a loading of 30%) that showed bactericide effect, for E. coli and B. subtilis. That effect was mathematically studied with a dose-response model (lethal dose of 12.4 ppm and 6.8 ppm respectively). These silver nanoparticles were subsequently introduced in a gel to create a silver release system with bacteria inhibition activity. Silver release from the gel and its bactericidal activity was theoretically studied to develop a unique model that is able to predict accurately both silver release and lethal dose for any type of bacteria. This model will be useful for performing predictions for future silver in gel applications.

Global nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization that provides biological products, technical services and educational programs to private industry, government and academic organizations. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge. The primary purpose of ATCC is to use its resources and experience as a BRC to become the world leader in standard biological reference materials management, intellectual property resource management and translational research as applied to biomaterial development, standardization and certification. ATCC characterizes cell lines, bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, as well as develops and evaluates assays and techniques for validating research resources and preserving and distributing biological materials to the public and private sector research communities.
