Abstract

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using microorganisms is an important application of nanobiotechnology and green chemistry because of interest by pharmaceutical and food manufacturers. In this study, biosynthesis of AgNPs by a novel Bacillus strain isolated from a soil sample from Sakarya district in Turkey was investigated. Biosynthesis was performed using cell-free supernatant of the bacterium following 24 h growth. Effects of varying AgNO3concentration (1-10 mM), pH (5-10), and temperature (30-40°C) on the synthesis of AgNPs were determined. Formation of AgNPs was monitored by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to compare morphologies among the various culture conditions. The peaks created by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of metals were obtained only at 4 and 6 mM AgNO3concentrations and the maximum concentration for the biosynthesis was observed at 6 mM. The highest yield was achieved at pH 10 and larger nanoparticles were obtained at this pH. The optimum temperatures for biosynthesis were 33 and 37°C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and transmission electron microcopy images confirmed that the proteins served as capping. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy an...Continue Reading
