    Synthesis of silver nanoparticles prepared with a dextran-type exopolysaccharide from Weissella cibaria MED17 with antimicrobial functions

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Sagdic, Osman; Dertli, Enes

    Microbial polysaccharides can find distinct applications as stabilizer agents including synthesis of nanoparticles. In this study, a dextran-type exopolysaccharide (EPS) was used as the stabilizer agent for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-Dex) with antimicrobial characteristics. UV–vis spectroscopy analysis was used to test the formation of AgNPs-Dex. The uniform morphology at around 10 nm size was observed for AgNPs-Dex by TEM analysis and importantly EDX analysis demonstrated the embedment of Ag+ ions within dextran as the stabilizer agent. XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of AgNPs-Dex and FTIR analysis demonstrated the interactions of dextran functional groups with silver. DSC and TGA analysis showed the alteration in the thermal stability of AgNPs-Dex compared to the stabilizer dextran. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of AgNPs-Dex were determined against food originated pathogenic bacteria and fungi and important inhibition levels were observed at 1 mg ml−1 concentration of AgNPs-Dex and this activity was observed to be concentration dependent.

    Synthesis and characterisation of alternan-stabilised silver nanoparticles and determination of their antibacterial and antifungal activities against foodborne pathogens and fungi

    In this study, alternan isolated from Lactobacillus reuteri E81 was used as the stabilising agent to produce alternan-stabilised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-Alt) and AgNPs-Alt were characterized and their antibacterial and antifungal activities were tested. The formation and the stability of AgNPs-Alt were determined by UV–vis spectroscopy analysis. SEM and TEM analysis revealed the uniform morphology of AgNPs-Alt with an average size of ~50 nm. The crystalline nature of the AgNPs-Alt was confirmed by XRD analysis. The interactions of alternan functional groups with silver was observed by FTIR analysis and thermal characteristics of AgNPs-Alt were determined by DSC analysis. Finally, the antibacterial and the antifungal activities of AgNPs-Alt were tested and AgNPs-Alt revealed inhibitory effects to pathogenic strains at 0.25 mg ml−1 concentration and this activity was observed to be concentration dependent. For the antifungal activity, a higher level of AgNPs-Alt was required compared to the antibacterial activity.
