Abstract

Silver nanoparticles are progressively used in various fields of biotechnology and medicine. The aim of the present study
was to synthesize and characterize silver nanoparticles using filamentous fungi. Both cell free and mycelial extract of
Aspergillus flavus were used for the study. The conditions optimal for the synthesis were standardized. The mycelia
grown in Potato Carrot Broth at pH 9.5 and 100ºC produced better results. Maximum absorption at 409nm and bands at
3444cm-1 and 2930cm-1 and corresponding bending vibrations at 1640cm-1 were characteristics of the silver nanos in UVVisible
and Fourier Transform-InfraRed analysis. The SEM and TEM studies revealed various sizes and shapes of the
nanoparticles.
