Abstract

Abstract: Various microorganisms were found to be cable of synthesizing gold and silver nanoparticles when gold and silver salts were supplied in the reaction system. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the extracellular synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by the type strain Microbacterium resistens T [KACC14505]. The biosynthesized gold and silver nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), field emission transmission electron micrograph (FE-TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Moreover, the nanoparticles were evaluated for antimicrobial potential against various pathogenic microorganisms such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus [ATCC 33844], Salmonella enterica [ATCC 13076], Staphylococcus aureus [ATCC 6538], Bacillus anthracis [NCTC 10340], Bacillus cereus [ATCC 14579], Escherichia coli [ATCC 10798], and Candida albicans [KACC 30062]. The silver nanoparticles were found as a potent antimicrobial agent whereas gold nanoparticles not showed any ability. Therefore, the current study describes the simple, green, and extracellular synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by the type strain Microbacterium resistens T [KACC14505].
