Abstract

The green synthesis of nanoparticles has received increasing attention due to the growing need to develop safe, cost-effective and eco-friendly technologies for nonmaterial synthesis. In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using a reduction of aqueous Ag+ ion with the culture supernatants of Aspergillus terreus. Bioreduction of AgNPs was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, Fourier Transmission Infra Red spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM). The synthesized AgNPs were polydispersed spherical particles ranging in size from 50 to 100nm stabilized in the solution. Furthermore the antimicrobial potential of AgNPs was studied. The synthesized AgNPs could efficiently inhibit the human pathogenic bacterial strains.
