Synthesis of silver nanoparticles–chitosan composite particles sphere (AgNPs-chi-spheres) has been completed and its characterization was fulfilled by UV–vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and zetasizer nano. UV–vis spectroscopy characterization showed that AgNPs-chi-spheres gave optimum absorption at a wavelength of 410 nm. The XRD spectra showed that the structure of AgNPs-chi-spheres were crystalline and spherical. Characterization by SEM showed that AgNPs-chi-spheres, with the addition of 20% of NaOH, resulted in the lowest average particle sizes of 46.91 nm. EDX analysis also showed that AgNPs-chi-spheres, with the addition of a 20% NaOH concentration, produced particles with regular spheres, a smooth and relatively nonporous structure. The analysis using zetasizer nano showed that the zeta potential value and the polydispersity index value of the AgNPs-chi-sphere tended to increase with an increased NaOH concentration. The results of the microbial activity screening showed that the AgNP-chi-Spheres with highest concentration of NaOH, produced the highest inhibition zone diameters against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans, with inhibition zone diameters of 19.5, 18.56, and 12.25 nm, respectively.

Background: Antimicrobial potential of silver nanoparticles synthesised by using various biological sources was already been reported by many researchers. The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using microbial sources has been proved to be more effective. Methods: In this study, anti-dermatophytic silver nanoparticles were synthesised by using pyrrolo metabolites producing actinomycetes as a green catalyst. Different characterization methods such as UV-Visible, XRD, and AFM were used to identify the physiochemical characteristics of synthesised nanoparticles. Results: The synthesised nanoparticles showed λ-max at 427 nm and 402 nm, respectively. The XRD analysis based on the JCPDS database identified the two synthesized nanoparticles as silver oxide nanoparticles (AgO NPs) and silver peroxide nanoparticles (Ag2O3 NPs). The size of these nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 40-44 nm (AgO NPs) and 23-25 nm (Ag2O3 NPs), respectively. The synthesized nanoparticles demonstrated significant anti-fungal activity against dermatophytic fungi Trichophyton mentagrophyes with the zone of inhibition of 38 mm by AgO NP and 17 mm by Ag2O3 NPs. Conclusion: Screening of marine actinomycetes LG003 and LG005 revealed the presence of pyrrolo derivatives as the major metabolites, suggesting that these pyrrolo derivatives could be responsible for synthesis and stabilization of AgO and Ag2O3NPs. Among the synthesized NPs, the AgO NPs showed great potential as an anti-dermatophytic agent. This study provides further research opportunities for AgONPs as anti-fungal agents.
