Antiviral activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized by fungal strain Aspergillus niger

G.Narasimha

Abstract

The antiviral property of silver nanoparticles synthesized fromfungal strain Aspergillus niger was tested in this study. The characterized silver nanoparticles with small size (3-10nm) showed an excellent antiviral agent. The viral inactivation process was increased with increasing the concentration. The colloidal silver nanoparticle at 8-12ppm totally inhibited the viral growth in host bacterial strain, E.coli.
