Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aloe vera leaf extract and antifungal activity against Rhizopus sp. Aspergillus sp. Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from. Aloe veraleaf extract and antifungal activity against. Rhizopussp. and. Aspergillussp. FT IR analysis. The result of FT IR analysis for Ag. NPs is depicted in Fig. Spectra of Ag. NPs showed transmission peaks at 3,3. The peak at 1,6. 36 cm1 indicates primary amines, the peak at 3,3. OH, as also H bonded phenols and alcohols in Ag. NPs while the peak at 1,5. Ag. NPs corresponds to involvement of nitriles CN groups. Figure 5 shows the FT IR spectra of biosynthesised silver nanoparticles and carried out to identify the possible interaction between protein and silver nanoparticles. Results of FT IR study showed sharp absorption peaks located at about 1,6. Absorption band at 1,6. These results indicated that the carbonyl group of proteins adsorbed strongly to metals, indicating that proteins could have also formed a layer along with the bio organics, securing interacting with biosynthesised nanoparticles and also their secondary structure were not affected during reaction with Ag ions or after binding with Ag nanoparticles Garg 2. These IR spectroscopic studies confirmed that carbonyl group of amino acid residues have strong binding ability with metal suggesting the formation of layer covering metal nanoparticles and acting as capping agent to prevent agglomeration and providing stability to the medium Baun et al. These results confirm the presence of possible proteins acting as reducing and stabilizing agents. Fig.  5. FT IR spectrum of Aloe vera mediated silver nanoparticles. The synthesised Ag. NPs prepared from Aloe vera leaf extract showed antifungal activity against Rhizopus sp. Aspergillus sp. The antifungal activity can be identified by inhibition zone formation Figs. Anticancer Activity Of Silver Nano Particles Size And Absorption Spectrum' title='Anticancer Activity Of Silver Nano Particles Size And Absorption Spectrum' />However, the antifungal activity of Ag. NPs depends on the types of fungus along with size of Ag. NPs and also closely associated with the formation of pits in the cell wall of microorganism Shafaghat 2. According to Kim et al. Ag. NPs affect fungus cells by attacking their membranes, thus disrupting the membrane potential. The biologically synthesised silver nanoparticles prepared by direct reduction method showed antifungal activity against only Rhizopus sp. Aspergillus sp. using disc diffusion method.

A simple colorimetric technique for the detection of small concentrations of aqueous heavy metal ions, including toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, is. Control was also maintained in which no zone of inhibition was observed. The highest antimicrobial activity was observed against Aspergillus sp. Rhizopus sp. The experimental samples with greater inhibition zones are represented in Fig. Abdeen et al. On the other hand, microscopic observation picture not supplied revealed that the synthesised nanoparticles caused detrimental effects not only on fungal hyphae but also on conidial germination Lamsal et al. However, there were other deformations such as structure of the cell membrane and inhibiting normal budding process of both Rhizopus sp. Aspergillus sp., probably due to the destruction of the membrane integrity Narayanan and Park 2. Kim et al. 2. 00. Almost similar observation was reported by Ouda 2. Alternaria alternate and Botrytis cinerea. Fig.  6. Zone of inhabitation with a Ag. NPs in Aspergillus sp. Aloe vera extract in Aspergillus sp. Autodesk Combustion 2008 Crack Download. Ag. NO3 salt solution in Aspergillus sp. Fig.  7. Zone of inhabitation with a Ag. NPs in Rhizopus sp. Aloe vera extract in Rhizopus sp. Ag. NO3 salt solution in Rhizopus sp. Green synthesis of Ag. NPs using Aloe vera plant extracts was reported to be superior to chemical synthesis in that, the former compounds offer better advantages as they are widely distributed, safe to handle, and easily available with a range of metabolites Mulvaney et al. In the present study, silver nanoparticles were synthesised using phyto compound aloin and the formed silver nanoparticles were characterized using UVvisible spectroscopy, SEM, fluorescent microscope technique and FT IR analysis. The production of silver nanoparticles is demonstrated by the sharp peak around 4. UVvis spectrum, which indicates the availability of reducing biomolecules in aloin. Analysis of SEM image shows the formation of silver nanoparticles and indicates the agglomerated appearance with cubical, rectangular, triangular shape and size varying from 2. The average size of an individual particle is estimated to be approximately 7. The results of DLS technique used for the measurement of size of ANS in solution form showed a size of 6. SEM analysis 7. 0 nm. The results of the FT IR studies indicated the involvement of hydroxyl, carboxyl and primary amine functional groups of aloin in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Ag. NPs showed better antifungal properties against Aspergillus sp. Rhizopus sp. as evidenced by minimum inhibitory concentration MIC value 2. L when compared to the phyto compound of Aloe vera plant extracts alone which does not show any inhibition zone. The results showed that the Ag. NPs were fungicidal against both the tested fungus at very low concentrations and the fungicidal activity was dependent on the tested fungus species. These results were confirmed by plating the content of each well on dextrose agar medium, and there was no growth for any of the strains resultant from the MIC point. These enhanced effects of Ag. NPs might be due to the antifungal properties of silver nanoparticles Tripathu et al. Cytotoxicity studies revealed that Ag. NPs have no adverse toxicity and it was found to be safe. Hence, keeping in view of the economics of production, safety and efficacy of the compound, Ag. NPs could provide a promising alternative to the use of traditional antifungal agent.

Abstract Finemicron sized iron oxide particulates are incidentally released from a number of industrial processes, including iron ore mining, steel processing, welding, and pyrite production. Some research suggests that occupational exposure to these particulates is linked to an increased risk of adverse respiratory outcomes, whereas other studies suggest that iron oxide is biologically benign. Iron oxide nanoparticles IONPs, which are less than 1. However, the adverse outcomes associated with occupational exposure to IONPs remain relatively unknown. Relevant in vivo studies suggest that pulmonary exposure to IONPs may induce inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis, genotoxicity, and extra pulmonary effects. This correlates well with in vitro studies that utilize relevant dose, cell types, and meaningful end points. A majority of these adverse outcomes are attributed to increased oxidative stress, most likely caused by particle internalization, dissolution, release of free iron ions, and disruption of iron homeostasis. However, because the overall toxicity profile of IONPs is not well understood, it is difficult to set safe exposure limit recommendations that would be adequate for the protection of at risk workers. This review article will focus on known risks following IONPs exposure supported by human, animal, and cell culture based studies, the potential challenges intrinsic to IONPs toxicity assessment, and how these may contribute to the poorly characterized IONPs toxicity profile.
