Microorganisms can produce various amphiphilic compounds known as biosurfactants, with diverse applications in distinct industries. This study was focused on the biosurfactant production by Limosilactobacillus fermentum HBUAS62516 for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The biosurfactant obtained was characterized as glycolipid using FTIR which showed prominent peaks at 2932.3, 1116.3, and 1084.4 cm, indicating major functional groups which was further confirmed using techniques, such as EDS, NMR, and HPLC. Biosurfactant was utilized as the reducing agent for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles which was confirmed using UV-Vis spectral measurements that showed maximum absorbance at 421 nm and FTIR revealed peaks at 109 and 665 cm, indicating silver nanoparticle formation. EDS confirmed the presence of silver nanoparticles with a mass percentage of 100.00 ± 4.56%. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential were 87.93 nm and - 21 mV, respectively, indicating stability. The nanoparticles showed significant antibiofilm and antioxidant activity (90.1%). The synergistic antibacterial effect of the biosurfactant and nanoparticles was studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas putida, as well as their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, with a MIC value of 12.5 μg/mL. Nanoparticles synthesized using biosurfactants obtained from probiotic bacteria can act as alternative therapeutics to treat infections caused by the biofilm-forming bacteria.
微生物能够产生各种被称为生物表面活性剂的两亲性化合物,在不同行业有着广泛应用。本研究聚焦于发酵乳杆菌HBUAS62516产生物表面活性剂用于合成银纳米颗粒。通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)对所得生物表面活性剂进行表征,结果显示在2932.3、1116.3和1084.4 cm处有明显峰,表明存在主要官能团,这通过能谱分析(EDS)、核磁共振(NMR)和高效液相色谱(HPLC)等技术进一步得到证实。生物表面活性剂被用作银纳米颗粒生物合成的还原剂,紫外可见光谱测量证实了这一点,该测量显示在421 nm处有最大吸光度,傅里叶变换红外光谱显示在109和665 cm处有峰,表明形成了银纳米颗粒。能谱分析证实了银纳米颗粒的存在,其质量百分比为100.00±4.56%。动态光散射(DLS)和zeta电位分别为87.93 nm和 - 21 mV,表明具有稳定性。这些纳米颗粒表现出显著的抗生物膜和抗氧化活性(90.1%)。研究了生物表面活性剂和纳米颗粒对金黄色葡萄球菌和恶臭假单胞菌的协同抗菌作用,以及它们对黑曲霉的抗真菌活性,最低抑菌浓度(MIC)值为12.5 μg/mL。使用从益生菌获得的生物表面活性剂合成的纳米颗粒可作为替代疗法,用于治疗由形成生物膜的细菌引起的感染。
