In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized quickly and in an eco-friendly manner using the extract of Mulberry leaves and aqueous solution of silver nitrate without any toxic chemicals (Yuet et al. Int. J. Nanomed. 2012, 7, 4263–4267; Krishnakuma and Adavallan. Adv. Nat. Sci. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 025018). The Mulberry leaves extract functions as both a stabilizing and reducing agent. The UV-Vis spectroscopy shows a peak maximum at 430 nm. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image illustrated of synthesized AgNPs were nearly spherical-shaped particles whose sizes range from 15 to 20 nm. The TEM image of Nano Silver solution sample synthesized by the microwave assisted method shows nearly spherical particles, with an average particle size estimated at 10 nm. The absorption UV-vis spectrum of silver nanoparticles synthesized by the microwave assisted method (AgNPsmw) shows a sharp absorption band around 415 nm. The UV-Vis spectrum of AgNPsmw after two months of storage shows negligible peak changes of silver nanoparticles.

In this article, we have studied the process of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) aggregation and to stop aggregation 0.3% Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used. Aggregation study carried out via UV-vis spectroscopy and it is reported that the absorption spectrum of spherical silver nanoparticles were found a maximum peak at 420 nm wavelength. Furthermore, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to characterized the size and shape of AgNPs, where the average particle size is around 10 to 25 nm in diameter and the AgNPs shape is spherical. Next, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) were used, owing to observed size distribution and self-correlation of AgNPs.

Cannonball (Couroupita guianensis) is a tree belonging to the family Lecythidaceae. Various parts of the tree have been reported to contain oils, keto steroids, glycosides, couroupitine, indirubin, isatin, and phenolic substances. We report here the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using cannonball leaves. Green synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and FTIR. Cannonball leaf broth as a reducing agent converts silver ions to AgNPs in a rapid and ecofriendly manner. The UV-Vis spectra gave surface plasmon resonance peak at 434 nm. TEM image shows well-dispersed silver nanoparticles with an average particle size of 28.4 nm. FTIR showed the structure and respective bands of the synthesized nanoparticles and the stretch of bonds. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles by cannonball leaf extract show cytotoxicity to human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Overall, this environmentally friendly method of biological silver nanoparticles production provides rates of synthesis faster than or comparable to those of chemical methods and can potentially be used in various human contacting areas such as cosmetics, foods, and medical applications.

Objective: The main objective of the research work is to evaluate the antityrosinase potential of onion DNA silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Methods: The onions were procured from the local market and DNA was extracted from onions using detergent and methylated spirit. The isolated DNA was selected for synthesis of AgNPs which acts as capping and reducing agent. About 10 ml of the DNA extract was added to 90 ml of 0.1 N silver nitrate solution. After 24 h incubation, the solution turned dark brown, which indicates the formation of AgNPs. The synthesized DNA AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies. Results: The results revealed that the particles were uniform in shape with face-centered cubic structure. The particles are 153±20.4 nm in size and were no signs of agglomeration measured by DLS studies. The FTIR spectroscopy revealed B form of DNA along with strong N-H stretching, C=N stretching, and also asymmetric vibrations of phosphate groups characteristic for DNA molecule. The XRD studies revealed the face-centered cubic structure. SEM studies revealed the spherical structure with average particle size of 150±0.1 nm for single DNA nanoparticles. The onion DNA AgNPs were further investigated for its antityrosinase activity against the standard kojic acid and were to have anticancer potential nearer to the standard. Conclusion: From the results, it is evident that the synthesized onion DNA AgNPs have antityrosinase potential and can be further investigated for in vivo anticancer potential in future.

Nanobiotechnology is a multidisciplinary branch of nanotechnology which includes fabrication of nanosized materials using biological approaches. Highly structured metallic and metal sulfide nanoparticles have been reported to be synthesized by numerous bacteria, fungi, yeasts and viruses. However, biosynthesis of nanoparticles by Haloarchaea (salt-loving archaea) of the third domain of life, Archaea, is in its nascent stages. In this study, we report the intracellular synthesis of stable, mostly spherical silver nanoparticles (SNPs) by the haloarchaeal isolateHalococcus salifodinaeBK6. The isolate adapted to silver nitrate was found to exhibit growth kinetics similar to that of cells unexposed to silver nitrate. The nitrate reductase enzyme assay and the enzyme inhibitor studies showed the involvement of NADH dependent nitrate reductase in silver tolerance, reduction, and synthesis of SNPs. UV visible spectroscopy, XRD, TEM and EDAX were used for characterization of SNPs. The XRD exhibited characteristic Bragg peaks of face centered cubic silver with crystallite domain size of 26 nm and 12 nm for SNPs synthesized in NTYE and halophilic nitrate broth, respectively. TEM analysis exhibited an average particle size of 50.3 nm and 12 nm for SNPs synthesized in NTYE and halophilic nitrate broth (HNB), respectively. The as synthesized SNPs exhibited antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative organisms.

Now days, the development of safe, cost effective, reliable and eco-friendly processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles is an important aspect of nanotechnology. Among the various agents, plants show immense potential for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The bio-molecules found in plants induce reduction of Ag+ ions from silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs); therefore, in the present work, the aqueous leaves extract of the plant was used as reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. We synthesized extracellular silver nanoparticles using extract of the leaves of four different medicinal plants which act as a reducing agent at room temperature. The characteristic color change was observed on addition of plant extract to the silver nitrate solution due to their specific properties (Surface Plasmon Resonance). UV-Vis spectroscopy was used for the characterization of the silver nanoparticles. Green synthesized nanoparticles are evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as two pathogenic fungi Aspergillus fumigatus and Curvularia lunata. The silver nanoparticles (SNPs) of selected plant parts have shown more toxicity towards bacterial species than that of the fungal species. Comparing with simple plant extracts, the SNPs exhibited greater antimicrobial efficacy and advantage over conventional antibiotics to which these microorganisms usually impart resistance.

This study aims to investigate the physical characteristics and photocatalyst activity of biosynthesized ZnO with pineapple (Ananas comosus) peel extract under microwave irradiation. The ZnO powder was prepared in two different concentrations of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (ZNH) at 200mM (Z-200) and 500 mM (Z-500). The optical, structural, and morphological properties of ZnO were analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum showed a wide absorbance peak of ZnO at the wavelength of 300-360 nm with a bandgap energy of 3.22 and 3.25 eV. The XRD result confirmed the wurtzite structure of ZnO with high crystallinity. SEM morphology showed spherical particles with an average particle size of 190-220 nm. For photocatalytic application, ZnO film was fabricated via the doctor blade method from microwave-assisted biosynthesized ZnO powder. ZnO films were then applied under UV-irradiation to examine the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue. It was found that the catalytic behavior of ZnO film was affected by the starting ZNH concentration with maximum effectiveness of 46% degradation after 2 h.

In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by gamma rays irradiation of 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mM silver nitrate solution using chitosan as a stabilizer. UV spectra, morphology and size of AgNPs irradiated at different doses were characterized by using UV-vis spectrophotometer and TEM images. The obtained results indicated that the average size of AgNPs increased by the increase of silver concentration in irradiated solution or the degree of acetylation of chitosan, while the increase of chitosan concentration was found to be a functional key for reducing the average size of particles in AgNPs product. In vitro test, AgNPs inhibited the growth of Corynespora cassiicola. In particularly, the inhibitory efficiency of AgNPs on the growth of C. cassiicola on rubber leaf extract media increased from 52.1 to 100 % when the average particle size of particles in AgNPs product decreased from 15 to 5 nm at the concentration of 50 ppm. In addition, the increase of AgNPs concentration from 10 to 90 ppm also enhanced the antifungal activity to be from 6.3 to 100 %, respectively. It suggests that the silver nanoparticles/chitosan (AgNPs/chitosan) synthesized by γ-rays irradiation method is a very promising fungicidal product applying for treating C. cassiicola, a serious pathogen fungus on rubber trees.
