Abstract
This study examined the effect of varying concentrations of Ocimum basilicum aqueous extract, which was done via the green synthesis of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), on the identification of the most effective concentration for bacteria inhibitory activity. Different concentrations of the aqueous Ocimum basilicum extract (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 mM) were used as reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize AgNPs by means of the reduction method. The crystal structure and morphology of the NPs were characterized UV-Vis spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antibacterial efficacy of AgNPs was studied against E. coli ATCC 35218 using well diffusion, MIC, MBC, and time-kill curve. The dark yellow color of the Ocimum basilicum aqueous solution indicates the successful synthesis process of the AgNPs. UV-spectra of the AgNPs display a gradual increase of absorption in sequence with concentration increase of aqueous Ocimum basilicum extract solution from 0.25 to 1.00 mM. This, in turn, led to a shift in the wavelength from 488 to 497 nm, along with a change in the nanoparticle size from 52 to 8 nm. The tests also showed a high activity of the particles against bacteria (E. coli), ranging between 15.6 and 62.5 µg/ml. Based on AgNPs, it was confirmed that an aqueous Ocimum basilicum extract can be used as an effective, reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of different sizes of AgNPs based on the solvent concentration. The AgNPs also proved to be effective in inhibiting and killing bacteria.

Abstract
A carbon nanotubes modified silver electrode (CNTs-Ag) was prepared via catalytic chemical vapor deposition and characterized. The morphology, crystallinity, elemental composition, and other quality parameters of the prepared electrode were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman techniques. The characterization results revealed the modification of the silver metal surface with CNTs of good characteristics. A sequential injection analysis (SIA) system was developed for studying the reaction of ascorbic acid with KIO3 using the prepared CNTs-Ag electrode. Electrodes were polarized with both direct current (DC) and periodic square wave (SW). Various experimental conditions affecting the differential electrolytic potentiometric (DEP) peak such as current density, SW bias value, and flow rate were appraised. Under the optimum conditions, good linear responses for ascorbic acid were obtained in the range of 60.0-850.0 µM for both types of polarization with detection limits of 14.0-19.0 µM. The results obtained showed that the periodic polarization method was more sensitive than DC polarization and the electrode response was faster. Ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical tablets was determined with satisfactory results using this method. The prepared CNTs-based electrode exhibited good performance for a long period of use. The method is simple, rapid, and inexpensive for routine analysis.
