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 (%) = (N_control − N_sample)/N_control × 100 mean values and standard deviation are calculated from four independent experiments.

Fig. 9 (b) TEM image of SBT@AgNPs after one year of synthesis.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
