Objective: Synthesis of varied sized and morphologically distinct silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using callus/callus extract, and their promising antibacterial and cytotoxicity was reported from very few plant systems. Here, we investigated silver nanoparticle synthetic potential of Couroupita guianensis leaf callus extract and their antibacterial activity.Methods: synthesis of callus mediated silver nanoparticles and characterisation of physical, chemical, and antibacterial activity of AgNPs.Results: Callus extract rapidly reduced silver ions and stabilized nanoparticles have displayed characteristic maximum UV absorbance at 410 nm. SEM and AFM images revealed their spherical morphology and size variation, which is ranged from 30.38 nm to 88.32 nm and were in small aggregates. Capping of AgNPs by the phenolic compounds and proteins revealed from FTIR spectral peaks. Silver nanoparticles displayed significantly high antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and negative bacterial strains compared to silver ions and gentamicin. This enhanced antimicrobial activity of AgNPs may due their small size leading to efficient molecular contact with cell surface, and uptake and interaction with vital biomolecules.Conclusions: Stable AgNPs were synthesized through reduction and capping of silver ions by polyphenols and proteins present in callus extract. Theenhanced antimicrobial activity of AgNPs may due to their small size leading to efficient molecular contact with the cell surface, penetration, andinteraction, and inactivation of vital biomolecules.KEY WORDS: Couroupita guianensis, callus extract, Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), antibacterial activity

Extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by fungus Aspergillus niger which was isolated from waste water is being reported in the present paper. The production of silver nanoparticles was evidenced by UV-Vis spectrum, showing the absorbance between 260 to 400 nm. The nanoparticles characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibited silver nanoparticles with diameter of 25nm to 75nm. Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis reveals strong signals in the silver region and confirms the formation of the silver nanoparticles. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy study confirmed that the A. niger mycomass has the ability to perform both reduction and capping functions on the silver nanoparticles. Compound Microscopy confirms the self-assembling property of silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles showed remarkable antibacterial activity against Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Bacillus subtilis bacterial strains. Reduction of silver ions is an extracellular and rapid process; this information may lead to the development of easy protocols for biosynthesis of the silver nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles is important for the development of effective antibacterial agent against those bacteria who are showing resistance against antibiotic drugs which are available in market.

In this article, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles through a reduction reaction process using Salacca zalacca extract is reported. The AgNPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and UV-visible spectrophotometry methods. The AgNPs antibacterial activity was determined against of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). The main functional groups contained in Salacca zalacca extract are carbonyl, hydroxyl and nitrile groups, which are believed to reduce the silver ions to metal. The surface plasmon resonance values of brownish red AgNPs are in the range of 410 nm to 460 nm. The structure of AgNPs is face centered cubic (FCC). The diameter of silver nanoparticles crystallite is 14.2 ± 2.6 nm. The AgNPs growth inhibition zones of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis are 9.6 mm and 9.2 mm, respectively.

A series of starch-co-poly(acrylamide) (starch-co-PAAm) hydrogels were synthesized by employing free radical redox polymerization. A novel green approach, Tridax procumbens (TD) leaf extract, was used for reduction of silver ions (Ag+) into silver nanoparticles in the starch-co-PAAm hydrogel network. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (X-RD) studies. 22% of weight loss difference between hydrogel and silver nanocomposite hydrogel (SNCH) clearly indicates the formation of silver nanoparticles by TGA. TEM images indicate the successful incorporation of silver nanoparticles ranging from 5 to 10 nm in size and spherical in shape with a narrow size distribution. These developed SNCHs were used to study the antibacterial activity by inhibition zone method against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as Bacillus and Escherichia coli. The results indicated that these SNCHs can be used potentially for biomedical applications.

Abstract Hydrogels are specific groups of polymers that are highly swellable in aqueous solutions, despite their water-in-soluble structures. Thus, they are promising drug delivery systems attributable to their unique characteristics such as high hydrophilicity, high controllability, facile production routines and, good biocompatibility. The aim of this research was the preparation of sodium alginate/acrylic acid composite hydrogels conjugated to silver nanoparticles to deliver the cephalexin as a model antibiotic compound. The reduction of silver ions into silver nanoparticles as well as the stabilization of created nanoparticles ensued simultaneously with hydrogel backbone formulation during microwave irradiation and monomer cross-linking processes. The impact of acrylic acid and silver ions concentrations and also the radiation time of microwave were then investigated on the main characteristics of hydrogels, namely, swelling ratio, gel fraction, cephalexin load and, antibacterial activity. The results indicated that the hydrogels’ characteristics could be significantly predicted by studied all independent parameters, through various second-order polynomial models. The multiple optimization analysis suggested that the prepared hydrogels using 7.8 g acrylic acid and 1.5 g silver nitrate and 1 min microwave radiation could give the best hydrogels with the highest swelling degree, gel fraction, cephalexin absorption and, antibacterial activity. The morphology and either absorption or release kinetics of cephalexin by/from the optimum prepared hydrogels were also investigated. No significant differences between the experimental and predicted data was confirmed the suitability of the suggested models.

AbstractIn this work, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is described by phytochemical reducing silver nitrate aqueous solution using Anthemis nobilis. For this purpose, Anthemis nobilis extract was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles as both surfactant and reducing agent. Green synthesis method is a good alternative to physical and chemical methods, since it is fast, simple, environmentally-friendly and economic. The produced nanoparticles are identified using FE-SEM, EDX, and FT-IR and Uv/Vis techniques. Formation of silver nanoparticles is verified in 430–420 nm range. Reduction of silver ions by hydroxyl functional group is also confirmed by FT-IR device. EDX device confirms the presence of a peak for Ag element without any impurity peak. Silver nanoparticles are identified by FE-SEM device and found to have average size between 17 and 42 nm. Also, the antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles is compared with that of staphyloccusaureus and pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the maximum inhibitory activity against the bacteria is obtained using 1 mM nitrate solution.
