Abstract

In this research, mycosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Lentinus squarrosulus extract was reported. Characterization of the biosynthesized AgNPs were carried out using FT-IR, UV-vis, EDX and FESEM. Antibacterial efficacy of the biosynthesized nanoparticles was carried out against selected bacteria of clinical importance. The UV-vis spectrum peaked at 418 nm, while EDX analysis revealed strong silver peak at around 1.5 keV. The nanoparticle's size and morphology as captured by FESEM mostly showed particles with spherical shapes ranging from 18.6 nm to 78.5 nm. The nanoparticles induced a maximum zone of 13.00 mm for both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, while a zone 10.00 mm was recorded for Escherichia coli. The study established the fabrication of AgNPs from fungus extract and the antibacterial activities of the synthesized nanoparticles; thus its possible usefulness in pharmaceutical industries.
