Curvularia Oryzae As Potential Fungal Biomass For Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis

One of the rapidly progressing area of nano biotechnology is the microbial assisted biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Biogenic Silver nanoparticle synthesis from fungal species Curvularia oryzae extract was utilized to reduce the silver nitrate solution for a period of 48 hours at 439 nm of UV-Visible spectrum which corresponds to surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles. The characterization of the silver nanoparticles with Transmission electron microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy shows the size dimensions of the Nanos silver in the range of 10 nm to 15 nm. These nanoparticles exhibit effective antimicrobial activity against potential pathogenic microbial species.
