Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been biosynthesised through the extracts of Ribes khorassanicum fruits, which served as the reducing agents and capping agents. Biosynthesised AgNPs have been found to be ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectra since they have displayed one surface plasmon resonance peak at 438 nm, attesting the formation of spherical NPs. These particles have been characterised by UV–vis, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The formation of AgNPs at 1.0 mM concentration of AgNO3 has resulted in NPs that contained mean diameters in a range of 20–40 nm. The green‐synthesised AgNPs have demonstrated high antibacterial effect against pathogenic bacteria (i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Biosynthesising metal NPs through plant extracts can serve as the facile and eco‐friendly alternative for chemical and/or physical methods that are utilised for large‐scale nanometal fabrication in various medical and industrial applications.Inspec keywords: X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray chemical analysis, nanofabrication, surface plasmon resonance, nanoparticles, antibacterial activity, microorganisms, scanning electron microscopy, silver, nanomedicine, visible spectra, ultraviolet spectra, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, field emission scanning electron microscopy, biomedical materialsOther keywords: antibacterial properties, silver nanoparticles, reducing agents, capping agents, surface plasmon resonance peak, spherical NPs, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy analysis, plant extracts, ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, antibacterial effect, Ribes khorassanicum fruits, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, surface plasmon resonance, AgNO3 , Ag  相似文献

Biological synthesis of nanomaterials is a growing innovative approach and it was broadly utilised in the field of nanotechnology and nanomedicine. This study illustrates that biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using fucoidan extracted from seaweed Padina tetrastromatica. The functional groups of extracted fucoidan were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and used to NPs synthesis. Synthesised AgNPs were characterised by ultraviolet–visible spectra, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X‐ray, transmission electron microscope, selected area electron diffraction and FTIR. In this study, their main focus is enhancement antibacterial activity of AgNPs coated antibiotics against antibiotic resistant bacteria. Among the microorganisms, Serratia nematodiphila was resistant to novobiocin and penicillin, but it was sensitive to AgNPs impregnated antibiotic discs. The zone of inhibition was 12 and 15 mm. The synergistic effect of combined antibiotics and AgNPs resulted in increased fold area which was greater than the sum of their separate effects. It reveals that AgNPs are highly sought in the medicinal field due to their broad spectrum of antibacterial activity and relatively cheaper. This enhanced synergistic effect potentially superior to control the growth of bacteria and it is the budding process for the development of new remedial agents for severe diseases.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, antibacterial activity, drug delivery systems, Fourier transform infrared spectra, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray chemical analysis, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, microorganisms, diseases, nanofabrication, drugs, cellular biophysicsOther keywords: phytochemical constituents, enhanced antibacterial activity, nanotechnology, nanomedicine, drug delivery, silver nanoparticles, biosynthesis, fucoidan extraction, marine brown seaweed Padina tetrastromatica, functional groups, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, ultraviolet‐visible spectra, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X‐ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, AgNP coated antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria, Serratia nematodiphila, novobiocin, penicillin, AgNP impregnated antibiotic discs, medicinal field, broad spectrum, enhanced synergistic effect, diseases, Ag  相似文献

To eliminate the elaborate processes employed in other non‐biological‐based protocols and low cost production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), this study reports biogenic synthesis of AgNPs using silver salt precursor with aqueous extract of Aspergillus fumigates MA. Influence of silver precursor concentrations, concentration ratio of fungal extract and silver nitrate, contact time, reaction temperature and pH are evaluated to find their effects on AgNPs synthesis. Ultraviolet–visible spectra gave surface plasmon resonance at 420 nm for AgNPs. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction techniques further confirmed the synthesis and crystalline nature of AgNPs, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy observed spherical shapes of synthesised AgNPs within the range of 3–20 nm. The AgNPs showed potent antimicrobial efficacy against various bacterial strains. Thus, the results of the current study indicate that optimisation process plays a pivotal role in the AgNPs synthesis and biogenic synthesised AgNPs might be used against bacterial pathogens; however, it necessitates clinical studies to find out their potential as antibacterial agents.Inspec keywords: nanoparticles, microorganisms, cellular biophysics, silver, antibacterial activity, pH, surface plasmon resonance, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, optimisation, nanomedicine, nanofabricationOther keywords: biogenic synthesis, optimisation, antibacterial efficacy, extracellular silver nanoparticles, fungal isolate Aspergillus fumigatus MA, nonbiological‐based protocols, silver salt precursor, fungal extract, silver nitrate, pH, ultraviolet‐visible spectra, surface plasmon resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, crystalline nature, transmission electron microscopy, spherical shapes, potent antimicrobial efficacy, bacterial strains, optimisation process, bacterial pathogens, antibacterial agents, wavelength 420 nm, size 3 nm to 20 nm, Ag  相似文献

Owing to the numerous biological applications, cost effectiveness and low cytotoxicity of the biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs), the authors optimised the production of silver NPs (AgNPs) using aqueous extract of Teucrium stocksianum Boiss. The NPs were characterised by ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐vis) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The UV‐vis spectroscopy revealed a surface plasmon resonance (410‐440 nm) at an incubation temperature of 90°C when 1 mM Ag nitrate combined to 5 mg/ml extract concentration in the ratio of 1:10. DLS results show an average zeta size of ∼44.61 nm and zeta potential of −15.3 mV. SEM and XRD confirmed the high crystallinity and cubical symmetry with an average size below 100 nm. FTIR measurement shows the presence of various functional groups, responsible for the capping and reduction of Ag metal. The 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell viability assay shows that AgNPs are less cytotoxic to J774 and L929 cells as compared with enhanced anticancer activity with low IC50 concentrations (68.24 µg/ml) against Michigan Cancer Foundation‐7 (MCF‐7) cells. The ethidium bromide/acridine orange assay shows that the AgNPs kill the cell by apoptosis. Overall, the results show that AgNPs possesses potent anticancer activities.Inspec keywords: cellular biophysics, cancer, nanobiotechnology, nanomedicine, ultraviolet spectra, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopes, light scattering, patient treatmentOther keywords: anticancer assessment, in vitro cytotoxic assessment, aqueous extract‐mediated AgNPs, Teucrium stocksianum Boiss, nanoparticles, biological applications, biosynthesis, silver NPs, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy, UV‐vis spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, extract concentration, zeta potential, high crystallinity, FTIR measurement, amide molecules, viability assay, enhanced anticancer activity, potent anticancer activities  相似文献

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was accomplished using different volumes of cauliflower extract and 0.001 M silver nitrate solution at 80°C for 15 min. A brownish‐red solution of AgNPs formed was tested by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). Surface plasmon resonance of AgNPs appeared at 416 nm. Also, the kinetic of AgNPs formation was studied and follows a sigmoidal pattern. Storing time was studied for the freshly prepared AgNPs after 60 days. FTIR analysis shows the adsorption of active components on AgNPs surface, and these components are responsible for reduction besides working as a stabiliser like a capping agent, also FTIR analysis of AgNPs after storage showed no change in peaks location. The SEM exhibited a globular shape of AgNPs, and the particle size ranged from 25 to 100 nm, while the XRD particle size calculation was 25 nm with cubic phase lattice. The antibacterial activity was tested against Gram‐positive and ‐negative bacteria showed an inhibition zone of 16–27 mm and the antibacterial activity tested for the same bacteria after storage for about 10 months showed an inhibition zone of 6–10 mm.Inspec keywords: microorganisms, reduction (chemical), nanofabrication, surface plasmon resonance, silver, transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticles, particle size, visible spectra, ultraviolet spectra, adsorption, antibacterial activity, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, nanomedicineOther keywords: antibacterial activity, green synthesis, silver nanoparticle, brownish‐red solution, surface plasmon resonance, FTIR analysis, active components, silver nitrate solution, ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectroscopy, AgNP surface, cauliflower extract, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, SEM, X‐ray diffraction, XRD, sigmoidal pattern, storing time, adsorption, stabiliser, capping agent, globular shape, particle size, cubic phase lattice, Gram‐positive bacteria, Gram‐negative bacteria, inhibition zone, reduction, time 60.0 d, temperature 80.0 degC, time 15.0 min, wavelength 416.0 nm, Ag  相似文献

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been undeniable for its antimicrobial activity while its antitumour potential is still limited. Therefore, the present study focused on determining cytotoxic effects of AgNPs on Michigan cancer foundation‐7 (MCF‐7) breast cancer cells and its corresponding mechanism of cell death. Herein, the authors developed a bio‐reduction method for AgNPs synthesis using actinomycetes isolated from marine soil sample. The isolated strain was identified by 16s ribotyping method and it was found to be Streptomyces atrovirens. Furthermore, the synthesised AgNPs were characterised by various bio‐analytical techniques such as ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infra‐red spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. Moreover, the results of 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay reveals 44.51 µg of AgNPs to have profound inhibition of cancer cell growth; furthermore, the inhibition of MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line was found to be dose dependent on treatment with AgNPs. Acridine orange and ethidium bromide double staining methods were performed for cell morphological analysis. The present results showed that biosynthesised AgNPs might be emerging alternative biomaterials for human breast cancer therapy.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, antibacterial activity, biomedical materials, tumours, cancer, toxicology, nanofabrication, microorganisms, reduction (chemical), ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, biomimeticsOther keywords: acridine orange, ethidium bromide double staining methods, cell morphological analysis, alternative biomaterials, human breast cancer therapy, time 16 s, Ag, dose dependence, MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line inhibition, cancer cell growth inhibition, 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometer, bioanalytical techniques, ribotyping method, isolated strain, marine soil sample, bioreduction method, cell death, Michigan cancer foundation‐7 breast cancer cells, cytotoxic effects, antitumour potential, antimicrobial activity, human breast cancer cells, potential anticancer activity, Streptomyces atrovirens, silver nanoparticles, biomimetic synthesis  相似文献

In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesised by adding 1 mM Ag nitrate solution to different concentrations (1%, 2.5%, 5%) of branch extracts of Eurycoma longifolia, a well known medicinal plant in South–East Asian countries. Characterisation of AgNPs was carried out using techniques such as ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry, X‐ray diffractrometry, Fourier transform infrared–attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (FTIR–ATR), scanning electron microscopy. XRD analysis revealed face centre cubic structure of AgNPs and FTIR–ATR showed that primary and secondary amide groups in combination with the protein molecules present in the branch extract were responsible for the reduction and stabilisation of AgNPs. Furthermore, antioxidant [2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′‐Azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzthiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid)], antimicrobial and anticancer activities of AgNPs were investigated. The highest bactericidal activity of these biogenic AgNPs was found against Escherichia coli with zone inhibition of 11 mm. AgNPs exhibited significant anticancer activity against human glioma cells (DBTRG and U87) and human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231) with IC50 values of 33, 42, 60 and 38 µg/ml.Inspec keywords: biomimetics, cancer, antibacterial activity, nanoparticles, silver, microorganisms, cellular biophysics, biomedical materials, nanomedicine, nanofabrication, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, attenuated total reflection, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, proteins, molecular biophysics, biochemistryOther keywords: Biomimetic synthesis, anticancer activity, Eurycoma longifolia branch extract‐mediated silver nanoparticles, nitrate solution, medicinal plant, ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometry, X‐ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared‐attenuated total reflection spectroscopy, FTIR‐ATR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, XRD, face centre cubic structure, primary amide groups, secondary amide groups, protein molecules, antioxidant, 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl, 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzthiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid), antimicrobial activity, bactericidal activity, biogenic silver nanoparticles, Escherichia coli, zone inhibition, DBTRG human glioma cells, U87 human glioma cells, MCF‐7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells, MDA‐MB‐231 human breast adenocarcinoma cells, Ag  相似文献

The present study reports on biogenic‐synthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived by treating Ag ions with an extract of Cassia fistula leaf, a popular Indian medicinal plant found in natural habitation. The progress of biogenic synthesis was monitored time to time using a ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. The effect of phytochemicals present in C. fistula including flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds and alkaloids on the homogeneous growth of AgNPs was investigated by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. The dynamic light scattering studies have revealed an average size and surface Zeta potential of the NPs as, −39.5 nm and −21.6 mV, respectively. The potential antibacterial and antifungal activities of the AgNPs were evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida kruseii and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Moreover, their strong antioxidant capability was determined by radical scavenging methods (1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picryl‐hydrazil assay). Furthermore, the AgNPs displayed an effective cytotoxicity against A‐431 skin cancer cell line by 3‐(4, 5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2, 5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, with the inhibitory concentration (IC50) predicted as, 92.2 ± 1.2 μg/ml.

Present study utilised textile soil isolated bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri to synthesise extracellular silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) under optimised conditions. The synthesised AgNPs were characterised using ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Optimisation showed AgNPs synthesis within 8 h using 2mM Ag nitrate at pH9, temperature 80°C and maximum absorbance toward 400 nm. TEM analysis revealed spherical shape AgNPs and reduction in size upto 8 nm was observed under optimised conditions. FTIR spectra confirmed presence of proteins bound to AgNPs act as reducing agent. AgNPs showed strong antibacterial activity against multi‐drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae as demonstrated by disc diffusion and colony forming unit assays. Zone of inhibition increased with increasing concentration of AgNPs with maximum of 19 mm against E. coli and 17 mm against K. pneumoniae at concentration of 2 μg/disc. Furthermore, AgNPs did not show any cytotoxic effects on human epithelial cells as demonstrated by 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay even at 2 μg/ml concentration of AgNPs. The results of the present study suggest that AgNPs can be synthesised rapidly under optimised conditions and show strong antimicrobial property against MDR pathogens without having toxicity effect on human epithelial cells.Inspec keywords: ultraviolet spectra, proteins, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra, Fourier transform spectra, visible spectra, microorganisms, toxicology, cellular biophysics, biomedical materials, antibacterial activity, nanomedicine, nanofabrication, nanoparticles, silverOther keywords: 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, human epithelial cells, cytotoxic effects, K. pneumoniae, colony forming unit counting assays, disc diffusion, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, multidrug resistant, stabilising agent, reducing agent, proteins, parametric optimisation, TEM, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, bacterium, cytotoxicity properties, antimicrobial properties, textile soil, Pseudomonas stutzeri, silver nanoparticle synthesis  相似文献

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively used as antibacterial agents, owing to their ease of preparation. In the present study, leaves extract of Canarium ovatum have been employed for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (CO‐AgNPs). CO‐AgNPs were synthesised under very mild, eco‐friendly manner where the plant extract acted both as reducing and capping agent. These AgNPs were synthesised by taking into account several parameters, that included, time of reaction, concentration of AgNO3, amount of extract and temperature of reaction. The optimisation studies suggested efficient synthesis of CO‐AgNPs at 25°C when 1.5 mM AgNO3 was reduced with 1:20 ratio of plant extract for 40 min. Size determination studies done on dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscope suggested of spherical shape nanoparticles of size 119.7 ± 7 nm and 50–80 nm, respectively. Further, characterisations were done by Fourier transform infrared and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy to evaluate the functional groups and the purity of CO‐AgNPs. The antibacterial efficacy of CO‐AgNPs was determined against the bacterial strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As evident from disc diffusion method studies, CO‐AgNPs remarkably inhibited the growth of the tested microorganism. This study suggested that C. ovatum extract efficiently synthesises CO‐AgNPs with significant antibacterial properties and can be good candidates for therapeutics.Inspec keywords: antibacterial activity, nanoparticles, silver, nanofabrication, particle size, light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray chemical analysis, microorganisms, biomedical materials, nanomedicineOther keywords: antibacterial potential, silver nanoparticles, biosynthesis, Canarium ovatum leave extract, plant extract, reducing agent, capping agent, antibacterial agents, reaction time, reaction temperature, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, spherical shape nanoparticles, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, functional groups, bacterial strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa, disc diffusion method, microorganism, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, temperature 25 degC, time 40 min, Ag  相似文献

In the present study, Ag/AgCl‐NPs were biosynthesised using Hypnea musciformis seaweed extract; NPs synthesis was confirmed by a change of colour and observation of a razor‐sharp peak at 424 nm by UV–visible spectroscopy. Synthesised nanoparticles were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Bacterial cell growth inhibition proves that the Ag/AgCl‐NPs have strong antibacterial activity and cell morphological alteration was observed in treated bacterial cells using propidium iodide (PI). Ag/AgCl‐NPs inhibited Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells, colorectal cancer (HCT‐116) and breast cancer (MCF‐7) cell line in vitro with the IC50 values of 40.45, 24.08 and 36.95 μg/ml, respectively. Initiation of apoptosis in HCT‐116 and MCF‐7 cells was confirmed using PI, FITC‐annexin V and Hoechst 33342 dye. No reaction oxygen species generation was observed in both treated and untreated cell lines. A significant increase of ATG‐5 gene expression indicates the possibility of autophagy cell death besides apoptosis in MCF‐7 cells. The initiation of apoptosis in EAC cells was confirmed by observing caspase‐3 protein expression. Ag/AgCl‐NPs inhibited 22.83% and 51% of the EAC cell growth in vivo in mice when administered 1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg/day (i.p.), respectively, for 5 consequent days.  相似文献

Biomimetic synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is safe and eco‐friendly; therefore, find diverse applications. Considering this, the soil fungi Penicillium chrysogenum strain Fungal germplasm collection centre/ BLS1 was isolated, characterized and explored to synthesize extracellular silver NPs (AgNPs) under optimised conditions. The synthesis of AgNPs was investigated using ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infra‐red spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. Process optimisation exhibited AgNPs synthesis within 8 h using 2 mM AgNO3 at pH 11 and temperature 70°C. TEM analysis revealed polydispersed ellipsoidal shaped AgNPs with average particle size 96.8 nm as measured by DLS. AgNPs showed negative zeta potential that confers surface stability in solution. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of protein bound to AgNPs. Antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus by the AgNPs (100 ppm) was demonstrated by counting colony forming unit, disc diffusion, and growth kinetics assay. Additionally radial assay revealed antifungal activity of AgNPs (100 ppm) against phytopathogenic fungi Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Microbial type culture collection 8785. Furthermore, AgNPs (100 ppm) did not show any cytotoxic effects on human Red blood cells. Therefore, this novel fungal strain can be utilised for biofabrication of AgNPs under optimised conditions and have shown strong antimicrobial property.Inspec keywords: biomimetics, silver, nanoparticles, particle size, nanofabrication, nanomedicine, microorganisms, biomedical materials, antibacterial activity, light scattering, cellular biophysics, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, transmission electron microscopy, pH, electrokinetic effects, proteins, molecular biophysics, biochemistry, reduction (chemical), biodiffusion, reaction kinetics, bloodOther keywords: biomimetic synthesis, physicocultural conditions, antimicrobial potential assessment, metal nanoparticles, soil fungi Penicillium chrysogenum strain FGCC/BLS1, extracellular silver NPs, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR, transmission electron microscope, TEM, dynamic light scattering, process optimisation, Ag nitrate, pH, absorbance, polydispersed ellipsoidal shaped AgNPs, particle size, DLS, mycosynthesised AgNPs, negative zeta potential, surface stability, protein component, reducing agent, antibacterial activity, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, disc diffusion, colony forming unit counting, growth kinetics assay, radial assay, antifungal activity, phytopathogenic fungi Sclerotinia sclerotiorum MTCC 8785, RBC haemolysis assay, temperature 70 degC, Ag  相似文献

The aqueous extract of Chinese winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) was used as reducing and capping agents for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the first time. The resulting AgNPs were characterised by UV/Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, atomic force microscope, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The colloidal solution of AgNPs gave a maximum UV–Vis absorbance at 446 nm. The synthesised nanoparticles were almost in the spherical shapes with an average size of 11.5 ± 4. 8 nm. FTIR spectra were applied to identify the functional groups which were possibly responsible for the conversion of metal ions into nanoparticles. The results showed that the prepared AgNPs were coated with the biomolecules in the extract. The biosynthesised AgNPs showed a remarkable catalytic activity at room temperature, and they also showed good antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, nanofabrication, antibacterial activity, biomedical materials, nanobiotechnology, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, X‐ray chemical analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectra, catalysisOther keywords: wavelength 446 nm, temperature 293 K to 298 K, Ag, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, biomolecules, catalytic activity, metal ions, colloidal solution, FTIR spectra, UV‐vis absorbance, TEM, SEM, XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV‐visible spectroscopy, catalytic properties, antibacterial properties, Chinese winter jujube extract, silver nanoparticles, facile phyto‐mediated synthesis  相似文献

The current time increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant ‘super‐bugs’ and the risks associated with food safety have become global issues. Therefore, further research is warranted to identify new and effective antimicrobial substances. Silver nanoparticles (Ag‐NPs) were synthesized by autoclaving technique using, different concentrations of Ag salt (AgNO3) solution (1, 5, 10, and 25 mM). Their presence was confirmed by a surface plasmon resonance band at ∼435 nm using UV–Vis absorption spectra. The morphology of the synthesized Ag‐NPs stabilized by polyacrylamide (PAM) was examined by TEM, SAED, and EDS. TEM images revealed that the synthesized Ag‐NPs had an average diameter of 2.98±0.08 nm and SAED and EDS results confirmed the formation of Ag‐NPs. In addition, FT‐IR spectroscopy revealed that a PAM polymer matrix stabilized the Ag‐NPs. The well diffusion method, was used to test, Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were examined. Also the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) were studied against Ag‐NPs. The Ag‐NPs exhibited strong inhibitory activity, MIC and MBC against the tested clinical bacterial isolates. These results suggest that Ag‐NPs stabilized in PAM are highly effective against clinical bacterial isolates can be applied in medical fields.Inspec keywords: antibacterial activity, silver, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, surface plasmon resonance, X‐ray chemical analysis, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, microorganisms, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectraOther keywords: Ag‐NP facile synthesis, PAM‐reduction approach, antibacterial application, antibiotic resistant super‐bugs, food safety, antimicrobial agents, antibiotics, antimicrobial substances, Ag salt solution concentration, ultraviolet‐visible absorption spectra, polyacrylamide, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, TEM images, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, PAM polymer matrix, diffusion method, Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria, clinical bacterial isolates, Ag  相似文献

Nanoparticles are being increasingly used in day‐to‐day life. Therefore, concerns have been raised regarding their interactions with the surrounding environment. This study focused on a simple green method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag‐NPs) in an autoclave at 15 psi (103 kPa) and 121°C. An aqueous solution of AgNO3 as a precursor of Ag‐NPs and gelatin (type B) reducing and/or stabilizing (capping) agent were used. The effect of various AgNO3 concentrations of certain gelatin concentration and various gelatin concentrations at constant AgNO3 concentration, and autoclaving time, was studied. UV‐Vis spectra ascribed that the presence of localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the synthesized Ag‐NPs. TEM images and the selected area of electron diffraction confirmed, the formation of Ag‐NPs with a diameter of approximately 5 ±0.35 nm. Furthermore, FT‐IR revealed that a gelatin polymer matrix stabilized the synthesized Ag‐NPs. The Well diffusion assay was used to test the effect of Ag‐NPs on six clinical bacterial isolates, where Gram positive bacteria were more susceptible to Ag‐NPs than Gram negative bacteria. Therefore, Ag‐NPs capped by gelatin have remarkable potential effect as an antibacterial agent, and they not only have various medical applications but can also be used in biological, pharmaceutical and industrial fields.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, antibacterial activity, microorganisms, nanofabrication, skin, gelatin, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, surface plasmon resonance, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, polymers, biomedical materialsOther keywords: green synthesis, silver nanoparticles, bovine skin gelatin, antibacterial effect, clinical bacterial isolates, autoclave, reducing agent, stabilising agent, ultraviolet‐visible spectra, localised surface plasmon resonance, transmissions electron microscope images, electron diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gelatin polymer matrix, well diffusion assay, gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, gram positive bacteria, Bacillus megaterium, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, temperature 121 degC, Ag  相似文献

The development of reliable and green methods for the fabrication of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) has many advantages in the field of nanotechnology. In this direction, the present work describes an eco‐friendly and cost‐effective protocol for the production of silver NPs (AgNPs) using an aqueous extract of Quercus semecarpifolia leaves. Different techniques were carried out for the characterisation of the synthesised AgNPs. The ultraviolet–visible spectroscopic analysis showed the highest absorbance peak at 430 nm. The particle size and structure were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. From TEM imaging, it was revealed that the formed particles were spherical with an average size of 20–50 nm. The crystalline nature of the NPs was determined by X‐ray powder diffraction patterns. Thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis were also evaluated by a temperature increment from 100 to 1000°C. Bio‐inspired synthesis of AgNPs was performed for their pharmacological evaluation in relation to the activities of the crude methanolic, n ‐hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and aqueous extracts. Good cytotoxic activity was exhibited by the green‐synthesised AgNPs (77%). Furthermore, the AgNPs were found to exhibit significant antioxidant activity at 300 μg/ml (82%).

This paper investigated the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous extract of silky hairs of corn (Zea mays L.) which is a waste material of the crop, as both a reducing and stabilising/capping agent. The AgNPs were characterised by UV‐visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR). The average size of AgNPs was found to be 249.12 nm. The AgNPs displayed strong antibacterial activity against five different foodborne pathogenic bacteria with diameter of inhibition zones ranged between (9.23 − 12.81 mm). It also exhibited potent synergistic antibacterial activity together with standard antibiotics, kanamycin (10.6 − 13.65 mm inhibition zones) and rifampicin (10.02 − 12.86 mm inhibition zones) and anticandidal activity with amphotericin b (10.57 − 13.63 mm inhibition zones). The AgNPs exhibited strong antioxidant activity in terms of nitric oxide scavenging (IC50 91.56 µg/mL), ABTS (2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid) radical scavenging (IC50 115.75 µg/mL), DPPH (1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging (IC50 385.87 µg/mL), and reducing power (IC0.5 23.14 µg/mL).

Biological routes of synthesising metal nanoparticles (NPs) using microbes have been gaining much attention due to their low toxicity and eco‐friendly nature. Pseudomonas aeruginosa JP2 isolated from metal contaminated soil was evaluated towards extracellular synthesis of silver NPs (AgNPs). Cell‐free extract (24 h) of the bacterial isolate was reacted with AgNO3 for 24 h in order to fabricate AgNPs. Preliminary observations were recorded in terms of colour change of the reaction mixture from yellow to greyish black. UV‐visible spectroscopy of the reaction mixture has shown a progressive increase in optical densities that correspond to peaks near 430 nm, depicting reduction of ionic silver (Ag+) to atomic silver (Ag0) thereby synthesising NPs. X‐ray diffraction spectra exhibited the 2θ values to be 38.4577° confirming the crystalline and spherical nature of NPs [9.6 − 26.7 (Ave. = 17.2 nm)]. Transmission electron microscopy finally confirmed the size of the particles varying from 5 to 60 nm. Moreover, rhamnolipids and proteins were identified as stabilising molecules for the AgNPs through Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy. Characterisation of bacterial crude and purified protein fractions confirmed the involvement of nitrate reductase (molecular weight 66 kDa and specific activity = 3.8 U/mg) in the Synthesis of AgNPs.Inspec keywords: microorganisms, silver, nanoparticles, enzymes, molecular biophysics, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, catalysis, biochemistry, nanobiotechnologyOther keywords: catalytic protein, stabilising agents, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, metal nanoparticles, UV–visible spectroscopy, optical densities, ionic silver, atomic silver, X‐ray diffraction spectra, transmission electron microscopy, nitrate reductase, rhamnolipids, Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy, Ag  相似文献

Today, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) is very common since it has many applications in different areas. The synthesis of these nanoparticles is done by means of physical, chemical, or biological methods. However, due to its inexpensive and environmentally friendly features, the biological method is more preferable. In the present study, using nitrate reductase enzyme available in the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterium, the biosynthesis of Ag NPs was investigated. In addition, the activity of the nitrate reductase enzyme was optimised by changing its cultural conditions, and the effects of silver nitrate (AgNO3) concentration and enzyme amount on nanoparticles synthesis were studied. Finally, the produced nanoparticles were studied using ultraviolet –visible (UV–Vis) spectrophotometer, dynamic light scattering technique, and transmission electron microscopy. UV–Visible spectrophotometric study showed the characteristic peak for Ag NPs at wavelength 405–420 nm for 1 mM metal precursor solution (AgNO3) with 1, 5, 10, and 20 cc supernatant and 435 nm for 0.01M AgNO3 with 20 cc supernatant. In this study, it was found that there is a direct relationship between the AgNO3 concentration and the size of produced Ag NPs.Inspec keywords: enzymes, molecular biophysics, silver, nanoparticles, nanofabrication, microorganisms, cellular biophysics, silver compounds, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, light scattering, transmission electron microscopyOther keywords: nitrate reductase enzyme activity, optimisation, silver nanoparticle synthesis, Escherichia coli bacterium, E. coli bacterium, biosynthesis, ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometer, UV‐vis spectrophotometer, dynamic light scattering technique, transmission electron microscopy, supernatant, metal precursor solution, AgNO3 ‐Ag  相似文献

Infectious diseases are caused by etiological agents. Nanotechnology has been used to minimise the effect of clinical pathogens which have resistance to antibiotics. In current research synthesis, characterisation and biological activities of green synthesised nanoparticles using Artemisia vulgaris extract have been done. The characterisation of AgNPs was carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV‐Vis spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Anti‐biofilm, cell viability, antibacterial, brine shrimp lethality, and deoxyribonucleic acid protection effects have been screened. UV‐Vis spectra showed the absorption peak of synthesised nanoparticles at 400 nm. FT‐IR indicated the involvement of the functional group in the preparation of AgNPs. SEM showed the spherical shape of AgNPs with 30 nm diameter. Biological screening results revealed the antibacterial effect against clinical bacterial pathogens. Biofilm reduction and cell viability assay also supported the antibacterial effect. Cytotoxicity effect was recorded as 100% at 200 μg/ml through brine shrimp lethality assay. Protein kinase inhibition zones recorded for AgNPs (16 mm bald) compared with A. vulgaris extract (11 mm bald). It has been concluded that green synthesised AgNPs are more effective against infectious pathogens and could be used as a potential source for therapeutic drugs.Inspec keywords: cellular biophysics, toxicology, silver, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, diseases, microorganisms, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, enzymes, molecular biophysicsOther keywords: biofilm reduction, cell proliferation, anthelmintic effect, cytotoxicity effect, green synthesised silver nanoparticle, Artemisia vulgaris extract, infectious diseases, aetiological agents, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV‐Vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy, SEM, antibiofilm, cell viability, brine shrimp lethality, deoxyribonucleic acid protection effects, AgNP, cytotoxicity, protein kinase inhibition zones, therapeutic drugs  相似文献
