Standardization, Characterization and Isolation of Trichoderma-Silver Nanoparticle-A Pharmaceutical Approach in Field of Nano-Medicine

Abstract

Silver is a well known antimicrobial agent. It is utilized in many antimicrobial and medication. The Trichoderma and its Metabolites have also been meant for antimicrobial activity against the various bacterial and fungal strain. In the present investigation Nanoparticle of silver is prepared by chemical method, green synthesis using plants and biosynthesis using microbes. Trichoderma secondary metabolite prepared by solvent extraction method from Trichoderma harzianum which act as a capping and reducing agent. The biosynthesised silver Nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy and TEM. UV-Vis spectra of silver Nanoparticle and trichoderma extract showed absorption spectra at 420nm & 430 nm respectively while the fused nanoparticle with Trichoderma secondary metabolite showed absorption spectra at 415 nm corresponding to the surface Plasmon resonance of silver Nanoparticle. It was determined the nanoparticle showed absorption spectra at 415 nm and morphology as spherical with size range 8 to 24 nm and providing good antimicrobial activity as Trichoderma silver fused nanoparticle against many microbial strain, so it can be prepared for pharmaceutical approach against the infectious disease caused by clinical pathogenic organisms.
