Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have become one of the current research hotspots and are used in many fields such as electrochemistry, energy, bioanalysis, and environmental monitoring, especially in the field of antibacterial research. In this study, we investigated the effect of properties of Ag NPs coated with polar materials. Ag NPs covered by a dispersant that was triethylene glycol monoethyl ether was stable and conquered the aggregation of Ag NPs. The effect of the dispersant on biocompatibility was explored through interaction experiments between Ag NPs and DNA sequence. The coated Ag NPs could adsorb DNA, and the fluorescence of FAM-DNA could be quenched by Ag NPs. The adsorption and desorption experiments of DNA showed that the order of DNA functional groups on the interaction process was phosphate>T>C>A>G. Moreover, we selected marine pathogenic bacteria to test the antibacterial effect of Ag NPs coated with a polar dispersant. The polar material had a certain inhibitory effect on the antibacterial activity of Ag NPs. However, small molecules such as bases could interact on the surface Ag NPs and release Ag+ to perform the antibacterial activity. The results could contribute to the further application of Ag NPs.

AbstractThe application of green synthesis in nanotechnology is growing day by day. It’s a safe and eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods. The current research aimed to study raw royal jelly’s potential in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their antibacterial activity. Royal jelly served as a reducing and oxidizing agent in the green synthesis technology of colloidal silver nanoparticles. The UV–Vis maximum absorption at ~ 430 nm and fluorescence emission peaks at ~ 487 nm confirmed the presence of Ag NPs. Morphology and structural properties of Ag NPs and the effect of ultrasound studies revealed: (i) the formation of polydispersed and spherical particles with different sizes; (ii) size reduction and homogeneity increase by ultrasound treatment. Antibacterial activity of different concentrations of green synthesized Ag NPs has been assessed on Gram-negative S. typhimurium and Gram-positive S. aureus, revealing higher sensitivity on Gram-negative bacteria.

Practical applications of different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mM) of zinc oxide (ZnO) suspensions containing 1% acetic acid were investigated against the pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus. ZnO suspensions (0, 1, 3, 6, and 8 mM) containing acetic acid had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of L. monocytogenes, E. coli, and S. aureus during 12 h of incubation, and the 8 mM suspensions of ZnO were the most effective against all the strains. These data suggested that the antibacterial activity of ZnO was concentration dependent. Thus, 6 and 8 mM ZnO were selected for further studies in meat. ZnO nanoparticles reduced initial growth of all inoculated strains in meat. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles in meat and indicates the potential of these nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent in the food industry.

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using four pathogenic bacterial extracts namely, Bacillus cereus, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella entericasubsp.enterica. Synthesis process were hydrothermally accelerated using temperature, pressure and heating time of 121°C, 1.5 bar ad 15 min. Physico- chemical characteristics of the fabricated Ag NPs, including, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, broad emission peak (λmax) and concentration were evaluated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and dynamic light scattering (DLS) particle size analyzer. Furthermore, main existed functional groups in the provided bacterial extracts were recognized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained results revealed that two main peaks were detected around 3453 and 1636.5 cm-1, for all bacterial extracts, were interrelated to the stretching vibrations of hydroxyl and amide groups which those had key roles in the reduction of ions and stabilizing of the formed Ag NPs. The results also indicated that, Ag NPs with much desirable characteristics, including minimum particle size (25.62 nm) and PDI (0.381), and maximum zeta potential (-29.5 mV) were synthesized using S. e. subsp. enterica extract. λmax, absorbance and concentration values for the fabricated Ag NPs with this bacterial extract were 400 nm, 0.202% a.u. and 5.87 ppm.

New green synthesis of Ag-nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using O-Carboxymethyl Chitosan (O-CMCs) as stabilizing agent and ascorbic acid as reducing agent was achieved. The reaction was carried out in an autoclave at a pressure of 0.12 MPa and a temperature of 120°C at varying concentrations of solution precursors and different reaction times. The size, shape and structure of Ag-NPs were measured using transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), FT-IR and UV spectrophotometers. The Ag-NPs stabilized in O-CMCs were blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer solution and then electrospun to produce wound dressing nanofibers with high antibacterial activity. The morphological study of O-CMCs/ PVA/Ag-NPs nanofiber membranes was characterized using SEM. Finally, the release behavior of Ag-NPs from these nanofibers was examined and the antibacterial activity was measured against some skin pathogenic bacteria and fungi using the agar diffusion method. The newly developed membranes show a unique antibacterial activity against the tested strains and were presented as promising active wound dressing materials in medical applications.

Nanoparticles are used in various fields of science, especially medicine. Advent of nanotechnology has led to significant development in disease diagnosis, treatment and drug delivery. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) play an important role in medical application, which makes them a viable alternative to common antibiotics. Amongst various methods, synthesis of Ag-NPs via green method has the advantage of being cost effective with no toxic agent. In this study, Spherical shape Ag-NPs with average size of 30 nm were synthetized using Anethum graveolens leaf extract as a green, cost-effective, non-toxic and environment-friendly source. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analysis (PSA) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were performed to characterize synthesized Ag-NPs. The antibacterial activity of the synthetized Ag-NPs was evaluated against gram positive and negative bacterial pathogens. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at different concentrations of Ag-NPs were used to evaluate their antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogens. The results exhibited a desirable antibacterial property of Ag-NPs, suggested its usage as putative antibacterial agents. Moreover, the anticancer effect of green synthesized Ag-NPs was evaluated against MCF-7 lines and results showed that the cell viability is depended on the concentration of Ag-NPs. In short, this method provides a simple, cost effective and eco-friendly way to synthesis Ag-NPs which can be used as a suitable alternative to common antibiotics that use hazardous chemical agents, additionally, with anticancer effects against MCF-7 cells.

The present findings were focused on green synthesis of silver nanoparticles through an aqueous extract of Saraca indica. The stability of the nanoparticle was achieved through the optimization of physico-chemical parameters. The sharp UV-visible absorption maximum at 400 was observed for biological synthesized silver nanoparticles. The spectroscopic analysis was thus used to assess the formation of silver nanoparticles. The AFM analysis did analyze the morphology of the nanocomposite, which was further confirmed through TEM micrograph. The electron micrograph image discloses that silver nanoparticles were polydispersed and dominantly as spherical with size ranges from 40nm to 100nm. The average size distribution was 49nm. The chemical reductions of Ag+ ions were further confirmed through FTIR. The biogenic silver nanoparticle and their drug formulation showed profound antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria. The flavonoids rich binding of silver nanoparticle showed great medicinal potential and can be used for the treatment of several harmful infectious diseases. Hence, plant-based metal nanoparticles meet the demand for less toxic formulation during drug development and its delivery.
