The current study included an extensive protocol for the first time globally. This protocol was concerned with the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Nigella sativa callus and cellular suspended cultures. The results confirmed the success of the process of green synthesis of AgNPs from Nigella sativa callus by the color change in the reaction solution from colorless to brown and reddish-brown as a result of the reduction of Ag ions in the extract after addition of AgNO 3 solution (1:1 v/v). UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to initially prove the existence of AgNPs, which showed an absorption peak ranging between (420-440 nm) caused by the phenomenon of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) of AgNPs. (SEM) showed nanoparticle objects ranging from (18.341 -40.932) nm for standard extracts and (17.261 -29.13) nm for suspended cultures extracts. (EDX) proved the success of producing AgNPs in different proportions depending on the type of tissue cultures used and the difference in the pH value of the extracts (6, 9, 12), as the highest % of AgNPs production reached 4.46% in suspended cultures extracts from pH 12, followed by callus extracts, which reached 4.12% at pH 12. biologically prepared AgNPs proved their effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of Gram + and Grambacteria, as the inhibition zone ranged (19-35 mm) depending on the type of extract and the degree of acidity (pH) applied to the extract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
