Abstract
Correction for ‘One pot green preparation of Seabuckthorn silver nanoparticles (SBT@AgNPs) featuring high stability and longevity, antibacterial, antioxidant potential: a nano disinfectant future perspective’ by Thiyagarajan Kalaiyarasan et al., RSC Adv., 2017, 7, 51130–51141, DOI: 10.1039/c7ra10262c.
The authors regret that an incorrect versions of Fig. 1(c), 3, 7 and 9(b) were included in the original article. The correct versions of these figures are presented below.
Fig. 1. (c) UV spectra for leaf extracts speak shown at 230 nm, 240 nm, 250 nm and 260 nm wavelengths indicates the presence of phenol compounds.
Fig. 3. (b and b′) Vial image showing turbidity assay towards salmonella Sps and Petri plate image showing colonies of salmonella Sps incubated on BHI agar obtained from cultivated suspension with SBT@AgNPs. (c and c′) Quantitative evaluation of the antimicrobial ability of freshly prepared and after one year stored SBT@AgNPs by counting the colonies (CFU) grown on BHI agar plates. The original concentration of cells are about ∼105 CFU mL−1. Antibacterial efficiency was calculated following equation: antibacterial rate (%) = (Ncontrol − Nsample)/Ncontrol × 100 mean values and standard deviation are calculated from four independent experiments.
Fig. 7. Investigation of antibacterial activity against bacterial cocktail on routine infection-control measures and environmental decontamination using SBT@AgNPs in the day to day life. (a) Untreated (control), (b) treated with SBT@AgNPs (6 μg mL−1).
Fig. 9. (b) TEM image of SBT@AgNPs after one year of synthesis.
