Abstract
Background
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are renowned for their broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Various synthesis methods, particularly green synthesis using biogenic agents, have garnered significant attention. However, the detailed impact of green-synthesized AgNPs on the antibacterial mechanism against Staphylococcus aureus remain unclear, limiting the full potential of green synthesis compared to chemical methods.
Methods
AgNPs were synthesized via chemical (sodium citrate, NaBH4) and green synthesis (green tea leaves, cassia seed extract) methods. The synthesized AgNPs were evaluated for toxicity and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
Significant findings
This study revealed a strong correlation (R2>0.9) between minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and AgNP size for both synthesis methods, with a similar exponential trend. MIC values were 45, 40, 25, and 5 µg mL-1 for citrate-, NaBH4-, green tea extract-, and cassia seed extract-assisted synthesis, respectively. Green-synthesized AgNPs showed higher antibacterial activity than chemical AgNPs at comparable sizes. Chemical AgNPs exhibited low and fluctuating scavenging activity, while green methods were more consistent. Cytotoxicity was noted in chemical AgNPs and at high concentrations of green tea extract-assisted AgNPs. Bacterial membrane disruption and ROS accumulation were also observed, contributing to the enhanced antibacterial activity of green-synthesized AgNPs.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers (formerly known as Journal of the Chinese Institute of Chemical Engineers) publishes original works, from fundamental principles to practical applications, in the broad field of chemical engineering with special focus on three aspects: Chemical and Biomolecular Science and Technology, Energy and Environmental Science and Technology, and Materials Science and Technology. Authors should choose for their manuscript an appropriate aspect section and a few related classifications when submitting to the journal online.
