Abstract

The investigations on green combination strategies and on its potential applications for the humanity are on incline for more than 10 decades in the field of bioscience. The research on silver nanoparticles by the use of microorganisms is very much popular these days as it is very easily available source for their synthesis. In the present work, an indigenous Fusarium species isolated from soil sample has been used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles and its antibacterial activity was studied against five bacterial pathogens (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas sp. and Moraxella sp.). The results revealed the nanoparticles being synthesized were quite potential of inhibiting the growth of all the five bacterial pathogens. The characterization study of these silver nanoparticles was also performed by UV-VIS spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier Transform Infra red Spectroscopy and Particle Size Analyzer.
