This study evaluated the antibacterial and cytotoxic activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized by soil fungus Aspergillus melleus SSS-10. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles showed strong cytotoxic potential on MG-63 cells and exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
The present study aimed at evaluating the extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles by soil fungus Aspergillus melleus SSS-10 for antibacterial and cytotoxic activity. In this study, the formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was estimated by the colour change in cell free extract from pale yellow to golden yellow after 24 h of the reaction. UV-Vis study showed the absorbance maxima at 410 nm. Tauc plot analysis revealed the band gap energy as 2.34 eV. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) data revealed polydisperse anisotropic silver nanoparticles with average hydrodynamic diameter of 92.006 nm. Zeta potential of - 19.6 mV provided evidence of stable silver nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed four prominent Bragg peaks corresponding to (111), (200), (220) and (311) planes characteristic of silver (Ag) in FCC structural configuration. Average crystallite size was found to be 87.3 nm from Scherrer equation. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis revealed irregular morphology of silver nanoparticles. EDS analysis displayed characteristic energy peaks of silver from 2.72 keV to 3.52 keV confirming the presence of silver nanoparticles. Biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited strong cytotoxic potential on MG-63 cells. AgNPs also showed antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In conclusion, this study provides a platform to explore the utility of fungal mediated silver nanoparticles synthesized for various pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications.
