Abstract
Over the last few years, the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) has become the center of attention of researchers. There are eco-friendly techniques to determine the properties of metal nanoparticles, produced by microorganisms or their cytoplasmic fluids. In the present study, fungal cytoplasmic fluid of white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 was used for the biosynthesis of Ag NP. The pH value of growing media of fungi, AgNO 3 concentration and fungal cytoplasmic fluid of Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 (PC-FCF) ratio were optimized to determine the most effective conditions. The formation of Ag NPs was monitored by UV visible spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 420 nm. Synthesized Ag NPs were characterized at scanning electron microscope (SEM). Optimum conditions for the pH value, AgNO 3 concentration and PC-FCF ratio were determined as 6.0, 1.50 mM and 100%, respectively. The shape and the sizes of nanoparticles, synthesized at optimum conditions, were confirmed by SEM. The shape was spherical, and the sizes were ranged from 26 to 63 nm.
