Background: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are attractive substrates for new medicinal treatments. Biochar is pyrolyzed biomass. Its porous architecture allows it to hold and gather minuscule particles, through which nanoparticles can accumulate in its porous structure. This study examined AgNPs’ antibacterial and anticancer properties alone and combined with biochar. Methods: The fungus Emericella dentata was responsible for biosynthesis of AgNPs. The characterization of AgNPs using STEM images and a Zetasizer was carried out. Accordingly, the antibacterial and antiproliferation activity of AgNPs and biochar was studied using MIC and MTT assays, respectively. To evaluate the antiangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of AgNPs with biochar, VEGF and cytokines including TNF alpha, IL-6 and IL-beta were tested using an ELISA assay. Results: The size of the AgNPs ranged from 10 to 80 nm, with more than 70% of them being smaller than 40 nm. The combination of AgNPs and biochar enhanced the antibacterial activity against all tested bacteria. Furthermore, this combination showed antiproliferative properties against HT29 cancer cells with high selectivity to fibroblasts at low concentrations. AgNPs with biochar significantly reduced VEGF and proinflammatory cytokine expression levels. Conclusions: Biochar and AgNPs may be novel treatments for bacteria and colorectal cancer cells, according to the current findings.

Endophytic Fungal (Periconia sp.) Biomass Derived 2D Biocarbon and its Influence on Germination and Growth of Mung Bean: A Preliminary Study

et al. 2023

Periconia sp. (endophytic fungus) biomass was effectively explored as the source for the fabrication of carbon nanostructures by one-step carbonization at 800∘C for 2[Formula: see text]h. The morphological characterizations of obtained biocarbon through SEM and TEM analysis revealed the formation of 2D-platelet-like carbon nanostructures. Further, its phase and structural characterizations through Raman and XRD analysis also supported the same. The obtained biocarbon was coated upon mung bean seeds to investigate its influence on germination and growth. The preliminary results revealed that the biocarbon accelerates seed germination and growth behavior of mung bean, which was observed by means of length, mass, and surface area profile respectively for the the plant’s shoots, roots, and leaves. It was also found that the germination and growth effects are highly dependent on the concentration of the biocarbon, in which 1000[Formula: see text]mg of biocarbon in 50[Formula: see text]mL of water is found to be higher than the lower concentration for seed germination and seedling growth.
