Table 1 Data obtained from the catalytic MB reduction in the absence and presence of our biosynthesized intracellular and extracellular Ag NPs catalysts.
Catalyst | Reduction of MB (%) | Time (min) | kapp (min–1) | R2 | \(\frac{{({K}_{app})}_{{\text{with}} \, {\text{catalyst}}}}{{{(K}_{app})}_{{\text{without}} \, {\text{catalyst}}}}\) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Extracellular Ag NPs | ~ 98% | 80 (min) | 0.04972 | 0.997 | ~ 22 |
Intracellular Ag NPs | ~ 63% | 150 (min) | 0.00641 | 0.984 | ~ 3 |
Distilled water | ~ 55% | 360 (min) | 0.00227 | 0.976 | Control |
