In this research, it was proposed to use carrot cellulose nanofibrils (CCNF) isolated from carrot pomace modified with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a filler of polylactic acid (PLA) composites matrix. The new procedure was based on two steps: first, the preparation of nanocellulose modified with metal nanoparticles, and then the combination with PLA. Two concentrations—0.25 mM and 2 mM—of AgNO3 were used to modify CCNF. Then, PLA was mixed with the filler (CCNF/AgNPs) in two proportions 99:1 and 96:4. The influence of CCNF/AgNPs on mechanical, hydrophilic, thermal, and antibacterial properties of obtained nanocomposites was evaluated. The greatest improvement of mechanical properties was observed for composite containing CCNF with 2 mM of AgNPs, which obtained the lowest Young modulus and highest strain at break. The degradation temperature was lower for PLA with CCNF/AgNPs, but crystallization temperature wasn’t influenced. The addition of CCNF/AgNPs also increased hydrophilicity. The transmission rates of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide also increased after the addition of CCNF/AgNPs to PLA. The antibacterial function against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus was obtained after the addition of AgNPs but only at the contact surface with the material made, suggesting the lack of migration of nanoparticles from the composite.

Polyaniline(PANI)/TiO2 nanocomposites are successful synthesized by one step-interfacial polymerization method. Morphologies and structures of the nanocomposites are characterized using SEM, FTIR, and XRD. The antibacterial properties of PANI/TiO2 nanocomposites on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Bacillus megateriu and Bacillus cereus are tested. The effect of molar ratio of aniline and tetrabutyl titanate on structures and antibacterial properties are also been explored. The results show that the content of tetrabutyl titanate has a obvious influence on structure and morphologies of the nanocomposites. PANI/TiO2 nanocomposites have antibacterial properties especially on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, which shows a best antibacterial property when the molar ratio of aniline to tetrabutyl titanate is 3:2.

ABSTRACT In this work we investigated the antibacterial properties of differently shaped silver nanoparticles against the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, both in liquid systems and on agar plates. Energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy images revealed considerable changes in the cell membranes upon treatment, resulting in cell death. Truncated triangular silver nanoplates with a {111} lattice plane as the basal plane displayed the strongest biocidal action, compared with spherical and rod-shaped nanoparticles and with Ag+ (in the form of AgNO3). It is proposed that nanoscale size and the presence of a {111} plane combine to promote this biocidal property. To our knowledge, this is the first comparative study on the bactericidal properties of silver nanoparticles of different shapes, and our results demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a shape-dependent interaction with the gram-negative organism E. coli.

Extracellular Biosynthesis

The development of reliable and eco-friendly organisms of silver nanomaterials is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research and application. Recently, microorganisms have been explored as potential biofactory for synthesis of silver nanoparticles. In this study, through screening of common bacteria, we report extracellular biosynthesis of metallic silver nanoparticles by the reduction of aqueous Ag+ using Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, and Streptococcus thermophilus ESh1 as potential candidates for the rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The culture supernatant of silver nanoparticles biosynthesis by reduction of silver ion coming in contact with the cell filtrate was fast and was formed within few minutes. UV-visible spectrum of the aqueous media obtained from the above bacteria containing silver ion showed a peak around 420 nm corresponding to the plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs showed formation of well-dispersed silver nanoparticles in the range of 5–25 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of silver nanoparticles exhibited 2θ values corresponding to the silver nanocrystal. In vitro studies indicated that the formed silver nanoparticles showed variable antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungus like yeast (Candida albicans). The diameter of inhibition zone varied according to the silver nanocrystal concentration and the test microorganism.

Nanosilver has been studied as a valuable material for it strong antibacterial effects. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial properties of nano silver Poly-L-Lactic acid (Ag/PLLA) composite fibrous membranes. Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes were prepared with silver nanoparticles having weight ratio of silver nanoparticles to PLLA at 5% (w/w). In vitro antibacterial tests were performed usingEscherichia coli(E. coli) andStaphylococcus aureus(Staph.) to determine the antibacterial capability of the Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes. As the results suggested, Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes showed strong antibacterial properties. Thus, Ag/PLLA fibrous membrane can be used as an antibacterial scaffold for tissue engineering.

Abstract Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were obtained in the polyethylene glycol environment. An effect of precipitation and drying temperatures on the size of the prepared nanoparticles was observed. Superparamagnetic iron oxide Fe3O4, around of 15 nm, was obtained at a precipitation temperature of 80°C and a drying temperature of 60°C. The presence of functional groups characteristic for a polyethylene glycol surfactant on the surface of nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR and XPS measurements. Silver nanoparticles were introduced by the impregnation. Fe3O4-Ag nanostructure with bactericidal properties against Escherichia coli species was produced. Interesting magnetic properties of these materials may be helpful to separate the bactericidal agent from the solution.

Green Procedure

A new green deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on polymers was proposed in this work. In-situ synthesis of AgNPs on polymers was achieved via a green procedure using natural reducing agents, which are Ageratum conyzoidez and Mikania micrantha. Several characterizations of the treated polymers such as color transformation, surface morphology, elemental contents, and water absorption were comprehensively evaluated. For the application, the treated polymers were then tested against waterborne bacteria, which are Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. Rapid deposition of AgNPs via the presently biological method can be successfully achieved as observed via surface morphology analysis and energy dispersive X-ray investigation. Water absorption capabilities of the polymers can be decreased after attaching with AgNPs, which can also probably contribute to the enhancement of their antibacterial activities. This study observed that the treated polymers showed excellent antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. The findings of this study are useful in designing water purifiers to disinfect contaminated water.

In this study the effect of bean tempeh on the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei bacteria was investigated. Antibacterial activity was observed only in relation to the bacteria Bacillus subtilis. The effect of tempeh products on human intestinal microflora was also assessed. Bean and soy tempeh were culinarily processed and next digested in conditions simulating the human digestive tract (one of the digestive tracts was equipped with a mechanism simulating absorption). Soy tempeh stimulated most the growth of bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium, while bean tempeh that of Escherichia coli. Using simulation of absorption for the digestion of fried soy tempeh resulted in a higher rise in the bacteria count of the genus Lactobacillus, while after digestion of fried bean tempeh the highest increase was recorded for Bifidobacterium and E. coli.
