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.

The fabrication of nanospinel zinc chromite (ZnCr2O4) crystals by the means of thermal treatment method from an aqueous solution containing metal nitrates, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and deionized water was described in this study. The samples were calcined at various temperatures ranging from 773 to 973 K for the decomposition of the organic compounds and crystallization of the nanocrystals. PVP was used as capping agent to control the agglomeration of the particles. The characterization studies of the fabricated samples were carried out by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). The corresponding peaks of Zn, Cr and O were observed in the EDX spectrum of the sample which confirms the formation of ZnCr2O4. The XRD patterns also confirmed the formation of the single faced nanocrystallines of spinel ZnCr2O4 with a face-centered cubic structure. The average particle size of the synthesized crystals was also determined from the XRD patterns using the Scherers formula which shows that the crystallite sizes increases with increase in calcination temperature and was in good agreement with the TEM images which shows cubical ZnCr2O4 nanocrystals with uniform morphology and particle size distributions. The ESR spectra confirmed the existence of unpaired electron in the fabricated samples and the increase in g-factor and decreases in resonant magnetic field (Hr) were observed as the calcination temperature increases.

AbstractCurrently, the green route for synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using plants leaf extract is an emerging research area in nanotechnology. The present study was explored for synthesis, characterization and catalytic application of Ag NPs using Diospyros lotus fresh leaf extracts. Factors affecting the synthesis were optimized and optimum conditions were pH of 8.6, silver nitrate (AgNO3) concentration of 1.5 mM and 10 mL leaf extract. Formation of Ag NPs was observed by change in color of reaction mixture from pale yellow to reddish brown. The synthesized Ag NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, EDX, XRD and SEM analyses. UV-Vis spectrophotometer showed maximum absorbance peak in the range of 407 nm at different time intervals indicating formation of Ag NPs. SEM and XRD analysis confirmed face centered cubic structure and crystalline nature of biologically synthesized Ag NPs with average particle size of 27 nm. The purity of synthesized Ag NPs was revealed by EDX. Finally, photo catalytic activity (PCA) of Ag NPs was studied and 72.91% decolorization of industrial waste water was obtained at 54 h. Some important parameters like pH, turbidity, conductance; TSS, TDS, sulphide, sulphates, etc. were also monitored before and after treatment with Ag NPs.

Present study reports the biochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles ( Ag -NPs) from aqueous medium by using the extract of medicinal mushroom Ganoderma, as a reducing and stabilizing agents. The Ag -NPs are prepared at room temperature by the reduction of Ag+to Ag in aqueous solution of AgNO3. The resultant particles are characterized by using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurement techniques. The formation of Ag -NPs is confirmed by recording the UV-visible absorption spectra for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) where peak around 427 nm. The prominent changes observed in FTIR spectra supported the reduction of Ag+to Ag . The morphological features of Ag -NPs are evaluated from HRTEM. The spherical Ag -NPs are observed in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. The particle size distribution is found to be nearly uniform with average particle size of 2 nm. The Ag -NPs aged for 15, 30, 60 and 120 days showed no profound effect on the position of SPR peak in UV-visible studies, indicating the protecting/capping ability of medicinal mushroom Ganoderma in the synthesis of Ag -NPs.

This work reports, for the first time, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using extracts of the species of Sargassum natans and Sargassum fluitans (AgNPs-S). Their antibacterial and catalytic properties are compared with silver nanoparticles obtained by chemical synthesis (AgNPs-C). The characterization of AgNPs-S and AgNPs-C was carried out using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Sargassum extract was optimized through varying experimental parameters, such as the type of solvent used to prepare the extract, the volume of the extract, and the pH of the system. The most efficient sample (AgNPs-S) was prepared with a water–ethanol-based extract, using a 3:1 volumetric ratio of extract: a precursor salt with the addition of 1 mL of NaOH pH = 14. The AgNPs-C were spherical in shape, with an average particle size of 11.55 nm, while the AgNPs-S were polyhedral shaped, with an average particle size of 26.39 nm. The synthesized AgNPs-S were found to have significantly higher catalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue and more effective antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa than AgNPs-C.
