Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of preparing metal nanoparticles using a fungal extract includes providing an aqueous solution including a metal salt; and combining the fungal extract with the aqueous metal salt solution to produce the metal nanoparticles. The fungal extract can be an aqueous extract of the manglicolous fungi The metal salt can be copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ) and the metal nanoparticles can be copper nanoparticles. The metal nanoparticles can have a mean diameter in the range of from about 5 nm to about 100 nm. The copper nanoparticles can be used as an antimicrobial agent.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of inhibiting growth of a microorganism, comprising the steps of: preparing an aqueous extract of Ascocylindrica marina , wherein the aqueous component is selected from the group consisting of sterile seawater mixed 1:1 with sterile distilled water or sterile distilled water alone; providing an aqueous solution including a metal salt, wherein the metal salt is copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ) and the aqueous component is water, wherein the aqueous copper salt solution has a copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ) concentration of 1 mM; combining the aqueous extract of the Ascocylindrica marina with the aqueous copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ) solution to produce a mixture; incubating the mixture at 25° C. for 24 h in a shaking incubator, with shaking at 180 rpm to produce copper nanoparticles, wherein the copper nanoparticles have a mean diameter in the range of from 10 nm to 30 nm; isolating the copper nanoparticles; and contacting the microorganism with the copper nanoparticles.
