Overview

In vitro study demonstrates potent antimicrobial activity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles against bacterial and fungal pathogens, highlighting a sustainable plant-based antimicrobial approach.

Key Points

To optimize the eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Ammoides pusilla extract and characterize their physical properties and antimicrobial effectiveness.
Investigated the influence of temperature, pH, reaction time, silver nitrate concentration, and plant extract concentration on silver nanoparticle synthesis.
Characterized the biosynthesized nanoparticles using UV–visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
Assessed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus using zone-of-inhibition assays.
Optimal synthesis conditions were achieved at 80°C, pH 9, and 2 hours of reaction time using 10% (w/v) Ammoides pusilla extract and 3 mM silver nitrate.
Nanoparticles were predominantly spherical with TEM-measured diameters of 12–18 nm and an XRD crystallite size of 17 nm.
Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles generated inhibition zones of 20.33 ± 0.58 mm for E. coli, 20.67 ± 0.58 mm for P. aeruginosa, 30.33 ± 0.58 mm for C. albicans, 25.67 ± 0.58 mm for B. cereus, and 21.00 ± 1.00 mm for S. aureus.
