Abstract
Candida albicans is a common commensal fungus and fourth most frequent causative agent of nosocomial infections including life-threatening invasive candidiasis in humans. The effectiveness of present antifungal therapies using azoles, polyenes, flucytosine and echinocandins has plateaued in managing fungal infections. The limitations of these antifungal drugs are related to polymorphic morphology, biofilm formation, emergence of drug-resistant strains and production of several virulence factors. Development of new antifungal agents, which can particularly afflict multiple cellular targets and limiting evolving resistant strains are needed. Recently, metal nanoparticles have emerged as a source of new antifungal agents for antifungal formulations. Furthermore, green nanotechnology deals with the use of biosynthetic routes that offer new avenue for synthesizing antifungal nanoparticles coupled with less toxic chemical inventory and environmental sustainability. This article reviews the recent developments on C. albicans pathogenesis, biofilm formation, drug resistance, mode of action of antifungal drugs and antifungal activities of metal nanoparticles. The antifungal efficacy and mode of action of metal nanoparticles are described in the context of prospective therapeutic applications.

Biosynthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Using Microbial Cultures: Mechanisms, Antimicrobial Activity and Applications to Cultural Heritage. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11020378. [PMID: 36838343 PMCID: PMC9960935 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11020378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanoparticles (1 to 100 nm) have unique physical and chemical properties, which makes them suitable for application in a vast range of scientific and technological fields. In particular, metal nanoparticle (MNPs) research has been showing promising antimicrobial activities, paving the way for new applications. However, despite some research into their antimicrobial potential, the antimicrobial mechanisms are still not well determined. Nanoparticles' biosynthesis, using plant extracts or microorganisms, has shown promising results as green alternatives to chemical synthesis; however, the knowledge regarding the mechanisms behind it is neither abundant nor consensual. In this review, findings from studies on the antimicrobial and biosynthesis mechanisms of MNPs were compiled and evidence-based mechanisms proposed. The first revealed the importance of enzymatic disturbance by internalized metal ions, while the second illustrated the role of reducing and negatively charged molecules. Additionally, the main results from recent studies (2018-2022) on the biosynthesis of MNPs using microorganisms were summarized and analyzed, evidencing a prevalence of research on silver nanoparticles synthesized using bacteria aiming toward testing their antimicrobial potential. Finally, a synopsis of studies on MNPs applied to cultural heritage materials showed potential for their future use in preservation.

Extracellular biosynthesis, OVAT/statistical optimization, and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Leclercia adecarboxylata THHM and its antimicrobial activity. Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:277. [PMID: 36581886 PMCID: PMC9801658 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-022-01998-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is an area of interest for researchers due to its eco-friendly approach. The use of biological approaches provides a clean and promising alternative process for the synthesis of AgNPs. We used for the first time the supernatant of Leclercia adecarboxylata THHM under optimal conditions to produce AgNPs with an acceptable antimicrobial activity against important clinical pathogens. RESULTS In this study, soil bacteria from different locations were isolated and screened for their potential to form AgNPs. The selected isolate, which was found to have the ability to biosynthesize AgNPs, was identified by molecular methods as Leclercia adecarboxylata THHM and its 16S rRNA gene was deposited in GenBank under the accession number OK605882. Different conditions were screened for the maximum production of AgNPs by the selected bacteria. Five independent variables were investigated through optimizations using one variable at a time (OVAT) and the Plackett-Burman experimental design (PBD). The overall optimal parameters for enhancing the biosynthesis of AgNPs using the supernatant of Leclercia adecarboxylata THHM as a novel organism were at an incubation time of 72.0 h, a concentration of 1.5 mM silver nitrate, a temperature of 40.0 °C, a pH of 7.0, and a supernatant concentration of 30% (v/v) under illumination conditions. The biosynthesized AgNPs have been characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The biosynthesized AgNPs showed an absorption peak at 423 nm, spherical shape, and an average particle size of 17.43 nm. FTIR shows the bands at 3321.50, 2160.15, and 1636.33 cm-1 corresponding to the binding vibrations of amine, alkyne nitrile, and primary amine bands, respectively. The biosynthesized AgNPs showed antimicrobial activity against a variety of microbial pathogens of medical importance. Using resazurin-based microtiter dilution, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for AgNPs were 500 µg/mL for all microbial pathogens except for Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC13883, which has a higher MIC value of 1000 µg/mL. CONCLUSIONS The obtained data revealed the successful green production of AgNPs using the supernatant of Leclercia adecarboxylata THHM that can be effectively used as an antimicrobial agent against most human pathogenic microbes.

Abstract
The biological synthesis of nanoparticles using fungal cultures is a promising and novel tool in nano-biotechnology. The potential culture of Trichoderma asperellum (T. asperellum) has been used to synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) in the current study. The necrotrophic infection in Brassica species is caused due to a foliar pathogen Alternaria brassicae (A. brassicae). Mycogenic copper oxide nanoparticles (M-CuO NPs) were characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques such as UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The antifungal potential of CuO NPs was studied against A. brassicae. M-CuO NPs exhibited a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at 303 nm, and XRD confirmed the crystalline phase of NPs. FTIR spectra confirmed the stretching of amide bonds, and the carbonyl bond indicated the presence of enzymes in T. asperellum filtrate. SEM and TEM confirmed the spherical shape of M-CuO NPs with an average size of 22 nm. Significant antifungal potential of M-CuO NPs was recorded, as it inhibited the growth of A. brassicae up to 92.9% and 80.3% in supplemented media with C-CuO NPs at 200 ppm dose. Mancozeb and propiconazole inhibited the radial growth up to 38.7% and 44.2%. SEM confirmed the morphological changes in hyphae and affected the sporulation pattern. TEM revealed hardly recognizable organelles, abnormal cytoplasmic distribution, and increased vacuolization, and light microscopy confirmed the conidia with reduced diameter and fewer septa after treatment with both types of NPs. Thus, M-CuO NPs served as a promising alternative to fungicides.

Abstract
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles by green route is an emerging technique drawing more attention recently because of several advantages over the conventional chemical ways. The overall objective of the research was focused on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using pomelo peel waste via a rapid and eco-friendly ultrasonic-assisted technique and their characterization. Different factors affecting the synthesis, like methodology for the preparation of extract and various treatment conditions for the synthesis, were also studied. The developed nanoparticles were characterized for their optical, molecular, microstructural, and physical properties by UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta-potential measurements, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The green synthesized nanoparticles were found almost spherical when treated at room and high temperatures and cubical when treated with ultrasonication. As obtained from the XRD studies, the size of crystallitenanoparticles was 35 to 40 nm in diameter. The EDX, FT-IR, and zeta potential analysis corroborated the role of phenolic compounds in capping and reduction of the metal ion. The capping ability of the polyphenolic component in the extract was used to achieve size stability. The nanoparticles also showed antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, owing to the inherent antibacterial capability of silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) have a high potential for use in several areas of agriculture including plant pathology. Nanoparticles (NPs) alone can be applied for disease management due to their antimicrobial properties. Moreover, nanobiosensors allow a rapid and sensitive diagnosis of pathogens because NPs can be conjugated with nucleic acids, proteins and other biomolecules. The use of ENM in diagnosis, delivery of fungicides and therapy is an eco-friendly and economically viable alternative. This review focuses on different promising studies concerning ENM used for plant disease management including viruses, fungi, oomycetes and bacteria; diagnosis and delivery of antimicrobials and factors affecting the efficacy of nanomaterials, entry, translocation and toxicity. Although much research is required on metallic NPs due to the possible risks to the final consumer, ENMs are undoubtedly very useful tools to achieve food security in the world. KEY POINTS: • Increasing global population and fungicides have necessitated alternative technologies. • Nanomaterials can be used for detection, delivery and therapy of plant diseases. • The toxicity issues and safety should be considered before the use of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance represents a serious concern to public health, being responsible for hospital infections, affecting mainly immunosuppressed patients. Thus, nanotechnology appears as an alternative to solve this problem, through the application of metallic nanoparticles with antimicrobial activity. The present work aims to synthesize and characterize AgNPs from Klebsiella pneumoniae (AgNPs-KP) and Aloe vera extract (AgNPs-AV), evaluating the antimicrobial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KpC) and the cytotoxicity in the L929 cell line. AgNPs were prepared by the biosynthetic method using Klebsiella pneumoniae and were characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM–EDS. Antimicrobial activity was tested using the MIC and MBC. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT method and neutral red. The production of ROS and nitrogen RNS tests were performed in the L929 cell line. Thus, it was possible to confirm the production of AgNPs-KP, through morphological, structural and elemental analysis. AgNPs from Klebsiella pneumoniae had potent antimicrobial activity in low concentration against antimicrobial resistant pathogens with MIC 9.76 µg mL−1 and MBC 9.06 µg mL−1. Moreover, AgNPs-KP in concentrations of 10, 30 and 100 µg mL−1 did not show cytotoxic properties for the L929 fibroblast, where only the cytotoxic effect was observed in high concentrations (300 µg mL−1). AgNPs-KP did not produce ROS about the analyzed concentrations and RNS production was only in the highest concentration of 3000 µg mL−1. Therefore, AgNPs biosynthesized by Klebsiella pneumoniae have potential medical applicability as a promising antimicrobial agent, using a simple and low-cost method, correlating nanomedicine as nanostructured materials.

Abstract
Nanobiotechnology is considered to be one of the fastest emerging fields. It is still a relatively new and exciting area of research with considerable potential for development. Among the inorganic nanomaterials, biogenically synthesized silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs) have been frequently used due to their unique physicochemical properties that result not only from their shape and size but also from surface coatings of natural origin. These properties determine antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and many more activities of bio-AgNPs. This review provides the current state of knowledge on the methods and mechanisms of biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles as well as their potential applications in different fields such as medicine, food, agriculture, and industries.

Abstract
Here, a rapid and easy transformation by electroporation technique for gene transfer in plants using cell penetrating amino nanocomplex (nanoplex) has been demonstrated in Nicotiana. Nanoplex was prepared using cell penetrating amino acids (CPAs) such as poly-L-lysine (PLL) and Argenine (Arg), in combination with the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). PLLs-modified nanoplex with zeta potential of 34.2 ± 1.22 mV charge showed 63.3% efficiency for gene transformation in plant cells as compared to 60% when modified with Arg and the zeta potential was found to be 30.0 ± 0.83 mV; whereas, the transformation efficiency without nanoplex was found to be 6.6%. The findings indicate that the zeta potential of positively charged nanocomplex (AuNPs/CPAs/DNA/CPAs) increases the transformation efficiency because of their ability to protect the DNA from electroporation wave and endogenous enzyme damage. Transformation was confirmed by GUS assay and amplification of npt gene. This technique may open up new possibilities of gene transfer in plants, which will enable to produce large number of transgenic plants.

Phyco-linked vs chemogenic magnetite nanoparticles: Route selectivity in nano-synthesis, antibacterial and acute zooplanktonic responses. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 102:324-340. [PMID: 31147005 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.01.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2018] [Revised: 12/16/2018] [Accepted: 01/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Despite the fact that magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-MNPs) considered as the most promising nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine and environmental biotechnology, their safety and ecotoxicological impacts of biogenic and chemogenic routes of Fe3O4-MNPs in the marine aquatic system is scarcely studied. In this work, we report the optimized and suitable phyco-synthesis route for nano-Fe3O4 based on the six selected species of the Persian Gulf seaweeds: Ulva prolifera, U. flexuosa, U. linza, U. intestinalis, U. clathrata, and Sargassum boveanum. Moreover, antibacterial activities and acute zooplanktonic responses in Artemia salina and acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite to chemogenic and biogenic Fe3O4-MNPs, were evaluated. Although all the seaweeds extract showed reducing potential for Fe3O4-MNPs green synthesis - mainly on the basis of characterization results- the algal route selectivity has been demonstrated to be important for the biosynthesis of magnetite NPs. Herein, the cubo-spherical and polydisperse U. prolifera-derived Fe3O4-MNPs with particles sizes of 9.59 nm were the best ones. The comparative zooplanktonic cytotoxicity of chemo- and bio-route of Fe3O4-MNPs exhibited no acute toxicity in nauplii and adults of A. salina (96-h EC50 ≥ 1000 mg/L) and the potential of toxicity in A. amphitrite nauplii (48-h EC50 = 466.5 and 842.3 mg/L for chemo- and bio-route of Fe3O4-MNPs, respectively). The in vitro antimicrobial activity of both chemo- and bio-route of magnetite NPs to selective human pathogenic bacteria and fungi (i.e. n = 11) showed strong antagonistic activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, B. pumulis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate the optimized phyco-fabrication of Fe3O4-MNPs as promising nontoxic approach in ecobiotechnology, the new insight about the potential adverse effects of chemosynthesized Fe3O4-MNPs to crustacean zoo-organisms after their possible entrance into the marine environments, and bio/chemo-route Fe3O4-MNPs as pivotal agent for nanoantimicrobials.

Abstract
Following the recent progress in magnetic nanotechnology, concern over the optimal benefits and potential risks of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe NPs), has increased. Hence, to minimize the negative impacts of inorganic Fe NPs, we report the phyco-synthesis and characterization of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 NPs via reduction of ferric/ferrous chloride solution (2:1 M ratio; 88 °C) with green macroalga, Ulva flexuosa (wulfen) J.Agardh aqueous extract. The biogenic process is clean, eco-friendly, rapid, and facile to handle. These green fabricated magnetite NPs are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), particle size analysers (PSA), zeta potential (ZP) measurement, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. The results confirmed that the cubo-spherical, polydisperse of biosynthesized Fe3O4 NPs with an average diameter of 12.3 nm was formed. The antagonistic effects of algal extract, chemo-route and U. flexuosa-derived Fe3O4 MgNPs on selective human pathogenic microbes (i.e. n = 11) resulted in strong antibacterial and moderate antifungal activity. The comparative toxic and reproductive effects of the chemo- and bio-routes of Fe3O4-MgNPs against rotifer B. rotundiformis exhibited low acute toxicity with a lower inducing effect of biogenic nano-magnetite on reduction rotifer reproductive rate than its chemogenic counterpart. In view of the nanoecotoxicity, though the current study covered a wide range of exposure concentrations (10-500 mg/L) of organic and inorganic nano sizes of Fe3O4 in brackish water rotifer, a biotoxicity assay at higher dosage or a comprehensive risk assessment in different aqua-organisms is recommended.

Abstract
Elucidation of the molecular mechanism of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis is necessary to control nanoparticle size, shape, and monodispersity. In this study, the mechanism of AgNP formation by Neurospora intermedia was investigated. The higher production rate of AgNP formation using a culture supernatant heat-treated at 100° and 121°C relative to that with an un-treated culture supernatant indicated that the native form of the molecular species is not essential. The effect of the protein molecular weight (MW) on the nanoparticle size distribution and average size was studied by means of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. Using un-treated and concentrated cell-free filtrate passed through 10 and 20 kDa cut-off filters led to the production of AgNPs with average sizes of 25, 30, and 34 nm, respectively. Also, using the permeate fraction of cell-free filtrate passed through a 100 kDa cut-off filter led to the formation of the smallest nanoparticles with the narrowest size distribution (average size of 16 nm and polydispersity index of 0.18). Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the fungal extracellular proteins showed two notable bands with the MWs of 15 and 23 kDa that are involved in the reduction and stabilisation of the nanoparticles, respectively.

Abstract
Biomaterials are now being used or evaluated clinically as implants to supplement the severe shortage of available human donor organs. To date, however, such implants have mainly been developed as scaffolds to promote the regeneration of failing organs due to old age or congenital malformations. In the real world, however, infection or immunological issues often compromise patients. For example, bacterial and viral infections can result in uncontrolled immunopathological damage and lead to organ failure. Hence, there is a need for biomaterials and implants that not only promote regeneration but also address issues that are specific to compromised patients, such as infection and inflammation. Different strategies are needed to address the regeneration of organs that have been damaged by infection or inflammation for successful clinical translation. Therefore, the real quest is for multifunctional biomaterials with combined properties that can combat infections, modulate inflammation, and promote regeneration at the same time. These strategies will necessitate the inclusion of methodologies for management of the cellular and signaling components elicited within the local microenvironment. In the development of such biomaterials, strategies range from the inclusion of materials that have intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties, such as the synthetic lipid polymer, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), to silver nanoparticles that have antibacterial properties, to inclusion of nano- and micro-particles in biomaterials composites that deliver active drugs. In this present review, we present examples of both kinds of materials in each group along with their pros and cons. Thus, as a promising next generation strategy to aid or replace tissue/organ transplantation, an integrated smart programmable platform is needed for regenerative medicine applications to create and/or restore normal function at the cell and tissue levels. Therefore, now it is of utmost importance to develop integrative biomaterials based on multifunctional biopolymers and nanosystem for their practical and successful clinical translation.

Abstract
AIMS In the present work the acidophilic actinobacteria strain was used as a novel reducing agent for the cheap, green and single-step synthesis of nanostructure silver particles. Structural, morphological and optical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized by spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy approach. The antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles against clinical strains such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella infantis alone and in combination with antibiotics were studied. METHODS AND RESULTS The crystalline and stable biosynthesized silver nanoparticles ranged in size from 4 to 45 nm and were mostly spherical in shape being characterized evolving several analytical techniques. The bioAgNPs inhibited growth of most bacterial strains. The highest antimicrobial activity was observed against Ps. aeruginosa (10 mm), followed by Staph. aureus, B. subtilis and Pr. mirabilis (all 8 mm). The lower activity was noticed for E. coli and Kl. pneumoniae (6 and 2 mm, respectively). Moreover, the synergistic effect of bio(AgNPs) with various commercially available antibiotics was also evaluated. The most significant results were observed for bio(AgNPs) combined with tetracycline, kanamycin, ampicillin and neomycin, followed by streptomycin and gentamycin against E. coli, Salm. infantis and Kl. pneumoniae. The most resistant bacteria to commercial antibiotics was Pr. mirabilis. CONCLUSION The Streptacidiphilus sp. strain CGG11n isolated from acidic soil can be used to efficiently synthesize the bioactive nanoparticles using inexpensive substances in an eco-friendly and nontoxic manner. The present work provides helpful insight into the development of new antimicrobial agents with the synergistic enhancement of the antibacterial mechanism against pathogenic micro-organisms. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The synthesized silver bionanoparticles from Streptacidiphilus sp. strain CGG11n possess potent inhibitory effect that offers valuable contribution to pharmaceutical associations.

Abstract
Biogenic synthesis of metal nanoparticles is of considerable interest, as it affords clean, biocompatible, nontoxic, and cost-effective fabrication. Driven by their ability to withstand variable extremes of environmental conditions, several microorganisms, notably bacteria and fungi, have been investigated in the never-ending search for optimal nanomaterial production platforms. Here, we present a hitherto unexplored algal platform featuring Chlorella pyrenoidosa, which offers a high degree of consistency in morphology of synthesized silver nanoparticles. Using a suite of characterization methods, we reveal the intrinsic crystallinity of the algae-derived nanoparticles and the functional moieties associated with its surface stabilization. Significantly, we demonstrate the antibacterial and photocatalytic properties of these silver nanoparticles and discuss the potential mechanisms that drive these critical processes. The blend of photocatalytic and antibacterial properties coupled with their intrinsic biocompatibility and eco-friendliness make these nanoparticles particularly attractive for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains to conventional antimicrobial agents has complicated and prolonged infection treatment and increased mortality risk globally. Furthermore, some of the conventional antimicrobial agents are unable to cross certain cell membranes thus, restricting treatment of intracellular pathogens. Therefore, the disease-causing-organisms tend to persist in these cells. However, the emergence of nanoparticle (NP) technology has come with the promising broad spectrum NP-antimicrobial agents due to their vast physiochemical and functionalization properties. In fact, NP-antimicrobial agents are able to unlock the restrictions experienced by conventional antimicrobial agents. This review discusses the status quo of NP-antimicrobial agents as potent broad spectrum antimicrobial agents, sterilization and wound healing agents, and sustained inhibitors of intracellular pathogens. Indeed, the perspective of developing potent NP-antimicrobial agents that carry multiple-functionality will revolutionize clinical medicine and play a significant role in alleviating disease burden.
