Abstract The silver nanoparticles were biosynthesized using fungal isolates as well as their mixed cell free filtrate acting as a consortium namely, DS-2 (Penicillium oxalicum), DW-8 (Fusarium hainanense) and DSW-28, respectively. The UV-Visible spectra determined the surface plasmon resonance at 438, 441 and 437 nm for the silver nanoparticles synthesized by DS-2, DW-8 and DSW-28, respectively. The Tauc’s plot analysis disclosed the band gap energy between 2.21 eV to 2.24 eV which depicted their ability to act as a semiconductor. The TEM imaging revealed the spherical shape along with the average particle size of DS-2 as 11.14 ± 2.39 nm and DW-8 as 7.59 ± 1.31 nm whereas that of DSW-28 as 5.73 ± 0.4 nm. Thus, the silver nanoparticles synthesized by DSW-28 were smaller in size than the individual isolates. The XRD pattern of the silver nanoparticles exhibited the crystalline structure corresponding to their peaks. The FTIR spectra indicates the presence of different functional groups on the surface of the synthesized silver nanoparticles. The broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity was exhibited by silver nanoparticles synthesized by DSW-28 against Gram positive, Gram negative bacteria and plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum than the individual fungal isolates. The DSW-28 synthesized silver nanoparticles also acts as an effective antioxidant by depicting their radical scavenging activity against DPPH. Moreover, the silver nanoparticles synthesized by DSW-28 also inhibited the growth of 4th instar larvae of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus more efficiently than DS-2 and DW-8 in a dose-dependent method. The impressive bioactivity of the silver nanoparticles synthesized by the mixture of cell free filtrate of various fungi acting as a consortium recommends their prospective use in agriculture as well as in biomedical as an antimicrobial, antioxidant and larvicidal agents in future.

Bergenia ciliate (B. ciliate) leaf extract was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of silver-copper oxide nanocomposite (Ag-CuO NC). Scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM) were used to examine the structural morphology, and the average particle size was determined to be 47.65 nm. The phase confirmation and crystalline structure were examined through the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, where cubic and monoclinic geometries were assigned to Ag and CuO. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultra-violet and visible (UV-Visible) spectroscopies were operated to analyse the elemental composition, functional groups and light absorption phenomena of the Ag-CuO NC. Under the full light spectrum, the photodegradation of Rhodamine 6G was recorded, and 99.42 percent of the dye degraded in 80 min. The Agar well diffusion method was followed to perform antibacterial activity against selected pathogens, and the activity was found to increase with increasing concentration of Ag-CuO NC. The ABTS free radical scavenging activity suggests that the activity of Ag-CuO NC is higher than ascorbic acid.

Abstract Endophyte mediated nanoparticles fabrication was emerging as a new frontier in nanomedicines that produce high biocompatible and functionalized silver nanoparticles. In this study, silver nanoparticles were successfully biosynthesized from the extracellular extract of endophytic bacterium Pantoea anthophila isolated from the stem of Waltheria indica for the first time. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible and Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy. The structural analysis is done by X-ray diffraction and the stability was studied by dynamic light scattering and particle size analyser. The size and shape were observed by Transmission Electron Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectrum. Further, the nanoparticles were evaluated for antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Synthesized nanoparticle showed a strong absorption band in the UV-Visible range at 410 nm. The average particle size was found to be 16.8 nm with spherical shaped, crystalline nature. Good zones of inhibition at various ranges were detected against a broad range of human pathogenic bacteria and fungi. A strong free radical scavenging activity of silver nanoparticles with IC50 values 30.75, 19.47, 34.59, 41.12, 27.24, 28.16, 36.21 µg/ml was obtained that was comparable to the reference. The study suggests that the silver nanoparticles can be biosynthesised from endophytic P. anthophila metabolites with significant therapeutic potential. With proper validation, the biosynthesised silver nanoparticles can be developed as a promising antiviral and anticancer drug candidate.

Biosynthesis of nanoparticles by using plant extracts is presently under development. The study has been focused on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous extract of Aloe vera gel as well as to determine their antioxidant potential. UV-Vis spectrophotometeric analysis showed surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) band at 440 nm, which is specific for AgNPs. The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) revealed that the synthesized AgNPs were spherical in shape with an average particle size of 66.6 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic (FTIR) analysis of the aqueous extract before and after the synthesis of AgNPs revealed the presence of different functional groups related to phenolic and polyphenolic compounds such as tannins and flavonoids, and other metabolites like proteins, which may be responsible for the synthesis and stabilization of AgNPs. The antioxidant potential of the synthesized AGAgNPs was determined by using 2, 2 Diphenyl-1- Picryl Hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, metal chelating and reducing power assay. Antioxidant assessment showed enhanced dose dependent antioxidant potential of the synthesized AgNPs as compared to the crude extract, which can gain attention of the pharmaceutical industry for preparation of antioxidants of natural origin as the synthetic ones are suspected to be carcinogenic. Present study also supports the advantages of green method for the nanoparticles synthesis.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) doped in the zeolite framework (AgNPs/Z) were successfully synthesized by γ-irradiation in ethanol solution of silver ion-zeolite (Ag+/Z) prepared by ion exchange reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and zeolite 4A. The effects of the Ag+ concentration and irradiation dose on the formation of AgNPs/Z were also investigated. AgNPs/Z with the silver content of about 10,000 ppm and the average particle size of AgNPs of about 27 nm was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Firstly, AgNPs/Z was added into PP resins for creation of PP-AgNPs/Z masterbatch (Ag content of ~10.000 ppm) and then PP-AgNPs/Z plastics were preapared by mixing masterbatch with PP resins. The antibacterial activity of the PP-AgNPs/Z plastics was investigated against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). The results showed that PP-AgNPs/Z plastic contained 100 ppm of Ag possessed a high antibacterial property, namely the bactericidal effect was more than 96 % on the platic surface. In conclusion, possessing many advantages such as: vigorously antibacterial effect and good dispersion in plastic matrix, AgNPs/Z is promising to be applied as bactericidal agent for plastic industry.

Poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP) stabilized silver nanoparticles with an average particle size ranging from 4.3 to 4.9 nm were synthesized by laser ablation in preformed colloids in methanol, acetone, ethylene glycol, and glycerin. Aqueous colloids obtained using PVP, poly(vinyl-alcohol) (PVA), and sodium citrate as stabilizing agents also lead to a good control over particle size distribution. Silver ions were reduced with sodium borohydride. The smaller average particle size and narrower dispersivity in comparison to previously reported data were ascribed to the relatively small size of the particles formed in the chemical reduction step, laser fluence, and the use of PVP, which was not previously used as the stabilizing agent in “top-down” routes. The surface plasmon resonance band maximum wavelength shifted from 398 nm in methanol to 425 nm in glycerin. This shift must be due to solvent effects since all other variables were the same.
