Abstract EN
This work was conducted to evaluate the ability of grape molding fungus; Penicillium\ citrinum to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs).
The potency of biosynthesized Ag NPs was checked against the aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus var.
columnaris, isolated from sorghum grains.
Biosynthesized Ag NPs were characterized and confirmed in different ways.
X ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and optical absorption measurements confirmed the bio-synthesis of Ag NPs.
The in vitro antifungal investigation showed that biosynthesized Ag NPs were capable of inhibiting the growth of aflatoxigenic A.
flavus var.
columnaris.
Utilization of plant pathogenic fungi in the Ag NPs biosynthesis as well as the use of bio-Ag NPs to control fungal plant diseases instead of chemicals is promising.
Further work is needed to confirm the efficacy of the bio-Ag NPs against different mycotoxigenic fungi and to determine the potent applicable doses.
