Biosynthesis of highly stabilized silver nanoparticles by Rhizopus stolonifer and their Anti-fungal efficacy
Authors
Abstract:
Highly stabilized monodispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by Rhizopus stolonifer and the antifungal efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Candida sp. were studied. Characterization of biosynthesized nanosilver was made by TEM-EDS and AFM. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of biosynthesized AgNPs, Amphotericin B, and Fluconazole have been studied on pathogenic fungi and the changes on membrane reactions have been elucidated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The present study indicates AgNPs has considerable antifungal activity comparison with other antifungal drugs Nanosilver showed potent activity against pathogenic fungi. The results showed nano-Ag exerted activity on the mycelia. Thus, the present study indicates nano-Ag may have effective antifungal activity, deserves further investigation for clinical applications.

Microbial transformation of (+)-isomenthol (1) by various strains of fungi was investigated. Fusarium lini has successfully converted compound 1 into a new metabolite, 5α-hydroxyisomenthol (2), and a known metabolite, 1α-hydroxyisomenthol (3), whereas incubation with Rhizopus stolonifer only yielded metabolite 3. The transformed metabolites were structurally characterized on the basis of their ...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used in diverse fields due to their superior properties. Currently the biosynthesis of AgNPs is in the limelight of modern nanotechnology because of its green properties. However, relatively low yield and inefficiency diminish the prospect of applying these biosynthesized AgNPs. In this work, a rapid mass AgNP biosynthesis method using the cell-free...

Metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible White button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). The physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like TEM, FTIR and XRD and were reported in our earlier report. But, what stands of paramount importance in the presen...
