Characterisation and antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles biologically synthesised by Amaranthus retroflexus leaf extract

Abstract

CONTACT Hamid Reza Pourianfar pourianfar@acecr.ac.ir ray diffraction pattern The XRD results showed clear diffraction line at low angles, ie 30 -80 ( Figure 5). The Bragg reflections at angles 2u of 38.18 , 44.35 , 64.4 and 77.3 corresponded to 111, 200, 220 and 311 sets of lattice planes, respectively. This band pattern confirmed the structure 132 B.

Biogenic Synthesis Silver Nanoparticles Using Peltophorum Pterocarpum Leaf Extracts and Its Antimicrobial Efficacy Against Selective Pathogens

“…The mechanism of antifungal action of AgNPs was still not clear. Similar studies were performed by Bahrami-Teimoori and their co-workers (2017) who have reported the antifungal property of AgNPs against Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternate [47]. Similar studies were also reported by earlier researchers who investigated the antifungal activity against human fungal pathogens [23,48].…”

Effective Inhibition of Candidiasis Using an Eco-Friendly Leaf Extract of Calotropis-gigantean-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles

“…The analysis was carried out in an X-ray diffractometer with an operating voltage of 45 kV and a current of 0.8 mA (Unisantis XMD-300, Geneva, Switzerland). The diffraction patterns were found using Cu-Kα radiation of wavelength 1.54 Å in the region of 2θ from 30 • to 80 • [22].…”

“…The aqueous leaf extract and AgNPs were subjected to FTIR spectroscopy (Thermo Nicolet AVATAR 370, Waltham, MA, USA) to examine their spectra. The analysis was done with KBr pellets, recorded in the range of 500-4000 cm −1 [22].…”

Electrochemical properties of biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized using Hagenia abyssinica (Brace) JF. Gmel. medicinal plant leaf extract

“…Many plants parts or whole plants have been used for the green synthesis of Ag NPs due to the presence of large number of bioactive compounds in plants. The extracts of plants and various parts of plants, Aloe fleurentiniorum plant [3], Coffea arabica seed [4], Jatropa Gossypifolia and Jatropa Glandulifera leaf [5], M. balbisiana (banana), A. indica (neem) and O. tenuiflorum (black tulsi) leaves [6], Alysicarpus monilifer leaves [7], Atrocarpus altilis leaves [8], Pimpinella anisum seeds [9] Aloe Vera plant [10], Azadirachta indica [11], olive leaf [12], banana peels 9 [13], Skimmia laureola leaves [14], Ziziphora tenuior (Zt) plant [15], Acacia rigidula leaves [16], R. officinalis, U. dioica and V. vitis-idaea [17] and Pistacia atlantica leaves [18] have been efficiently applied for this purpose.…”
