Abstract
The bio-synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was investigated using non-toxigenic isolate of Aspergillus clavatus. The fungus used in this study was seed borne and isolated from popcorn grains. Identification and characterization of bio-synthesized Ag NPs were achieved by the aid of spectroscopic techniques. The antifungal properties of such Ag NPs were also checked in the Cladosporium sphaerosporium. The X ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Optical absorption measurements were confirmed the bio-synthesis of Ag NPs. The in vitro antifungal activity test of bio-synthesized Ag NPs was also proved in this study.
