Biological Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Aspergillus Pumigatus and Its Antioxidant Properties

In this research, biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aspergillus fumigatus fungus and cytotoxicity and its antioxidant properties was investigated. Aspergillus fumigatus mushroom was cultured in Sabouraud Dextrose Broth. For the production of silver nanoparticles, supernatant from the culture was exposed to a solution of silver nitrate with a final concentration of 1 mM. Approval of silver nanoparticles production was confirmed by spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Investigation of the toxicity of the solutions was investigated by MTT method. Images obtained from X-ray diffraction show that nanoparticles are spherical and the nanoparticle size is between 5- 40 nm. In this study, the IC50 antioxidant was 0.06 and IC50 was 70.68 cytotoxicity. The IC50 hole has the same cellular and antioxidant properties, so it can be concluded that the nanoparticles produced in this study have good antioxidants.
