Using morphological and molecular methods, Arthroderma fulvum was identified as the most effective fungal strain for synthesizing AgNPs. The UV–visible range showed a single peak at 420 nm, which corresponded to the surface plasmon absorbance of AgNPs. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the biosynthesized AgNPs were crystalline in nature with an average diameter of 15.5±2.5 nm. Numerous factors could potentially affect the process of biosynthesis, and the main factors are discussed here. Optimization results showed that substrate concentration of 1.5 mM, alkaline pH, reaction temperature of 55°C, and reaction time of 10 hours were the optimum conditions for AgNP biosynthesis. Biosynthesized AgNPs showed considerable activity against the tested fungal strains, including Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., and Fusarium spp., especially Candida spp. Keywords: silver nanoparticles, fungi, antifungal activity, nanomedicineXue BHe DGao SWang DYokoyama KWang LDove Medical Pressarticleapplied biochemistryArthroderma fulvumsynthesisantifungal activitybiotechnologyMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol 2016, Iss default, Pp 1899-1906 (2016) |
