The fungus, Aspergillus flavus when challenged with silver nitrate solution accumulated silver nanoparticles on the surface of its cell wall in 72 h. These nanoparticles dislodged by ultrasonication showed an absorption peak at 420 nm in UV-visible spectrum corresponding to the plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles. The transmission electron micrographs of dislodged nanoparticles in aqueous solution showed the production of reasonably monodisperse silver nanoparticles (average particle size: 8.92 +/- 1.61 nm) by the fungus. X-ray diffraction spectrum of the nanoparticles confirmed the formation of metallic silver. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of protein as the stabilizing agent surrounding the silver nanoparticles. These protein-stabilized silver nanoparticles produced a characteristic emission peak at 553 nm when excited at 420 nm in photo luminescence spectrum. The use of fungus for silver nanoparticles synthesis offers the benefits of ecofriendliness and amenability for large-scale production. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
