Antimicrobial Activity Of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized with Extract of Tomato plant Against Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens

Abstract

Objective: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have a wide range of applications. Environmental-friendly synthesis methods for these nanoparticles are more preferable due to their various advantages. This study aimed to synthesize AgNPs using the extract of the tomato plant in an easy and economical way. and testing this AgNPs against some human pathogens. Methods: Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using aqueous silver nitrate and reducing tomato plant extract. The characterization of AgNPs was determined by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), X-ray crystallography (XRD) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDAX), thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) data. The effects of the particles on pathogenic microorganisms were determined by minimum inhibition concentration (MIC). Results: These data, with a maximum absorbance of 450.51 nm, in the spherical view, with the peaks and values of 111 o , 200 o , 220 o and 311 o (38.08, 44.28, 64.42 and 77.34), AgNPs showed a cubic crystal structure and, using the Debye-Scherrer equation, it was determined that they had a crystal size of 21.11 nm AgNPs had an antimicrobial activity on hospital pathogens gram negative, gram positive and Candida albicans yeast. Conclusion: We found that these particles showed antimicrobial activity on various microorganisms even at very high concentrations. As a solution to the antimicrobial search, it can be developed in medical industry.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from P. digitatum Study and Its Effect against A. baumannii and Proteus Mirabilis Bacteria

“…The measurements showed a match with the standard PDF Card: 004-0783 for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the standard PDF card: 041-1104 for silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag2O). These results are similar to the researchers' findings (Hussein, 2016;Pranay and Archit;2013;Swathi, et al, 2014;Pavani, et al, 2012;Deepak, and Aruna, 2014). The X-ray spectrum also shows high-intensity diffraction peaks, a characteristic of highly crystalline materials, with a diffraction peak prevailing towards level (111), which indicates that the prepared particles possess the nanostructured characteristic.…”

Synthesis and characterization of molecularly imprinted composite as a novel adsorbent and competition with non-imprinting composite for removal of dye

“…Characterization FTIR analysis FTIR spectra of PMMAC-MIC, PMMAC-NIC composites are illustrated in Figure 2a. As can be seen from Figure 2a, there are peaks at 2988, 2951, 2988, and 2952 cm −1 in the PMMAC-NIC and PMMAC-MIC spectrum corresponding to the stretching vibration peak of the saturated C-H stretching vibration, respectively (17)(18)(19)(20). The peak in the PMMAC-NIC spectrum at 1724 cm -1 and in the PMMAC-MIC spectrum at 1722 cm -1 demonstrated the carbonyl group of the ester group of PMMA.…”

Green synthesis of zinc nanoparticles with plant material and their potential application in bulk industrial production of mosquito-repellent antibacterial paint formulations

“…Characterization of ZnO nanoparticles was done through UV-visible spectroscopy, Particle Size Analysis (PSA) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. 22,23 UV-visible spectroscopy, covering a wavelength range of 200-799 nm, was employed to validate the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The formation of these nanoparticles was evidenced by a noticeable change in the color of the solution upon the amalgamation of zinc sulfate with the plant extract.…”
