This study evaluates the potential application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as antimicrobial or nematicidal agents produced by the extremophile , which was isolated from the alkaline Wadi El-Natrun Lake in Egypt. The AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The size of AgNPs formed ranged from 20.12 to 29.48 nm. was exposed to different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μg/mL) of AgNPs in a 5 mL nematode suspension (1 × 10 mL). The best result occurred at AgNP concentrations of 150 and 200 μg/mL, with death rates of 80 and 91%, respectively, following 48 h of exposure. AgNPs also exhibited potent antimicrobial properties when using Gram-negative and Gram-positive human pathogens, with MIC and MBC values of 5 and 10 μg/mL, respectively. These laboratory assays prove that biologically synthesized AgNPs are an ecofriendly material that can be used in lieu of solvents or toxic chemicals.
本研究评估了从埃及碱性的纳特龙湖分离出的嗜极端微生物所产生的银纳米颗粒(AgNPs)作为抗菌或杀线虫剂的潜在应用。通过紫外可见吸收光谱、透射电子显微镜和能量色散X射线光谱对AgNPs进行了表征。形成的AgNPs尺寸范围为20.12至29.48纳米。在5毫升线虫悬浮液(1×10毫升)中,将其暴露于不同浓度(0、50、100、150和200微克/毫升)的AgNPs中。在暴露48小时后,AgNP浓度为150和200微克/毫升时效果最佳,死亡率分别为80%和91%。当使用革兰氏阴性和革兰氏阳性人类病原体时,AgNPs也表现出强大的抗菌特性,其最低抑菌浓度(MIC)和最低杀菌浓度(MBC)值分别为5和10微克/毫升。这些实验室分析证明,生物合成的AgNPs是一种环保材料,可用于替代溶剂或有毒化学品。
