摘要

This study investigated the green synthesis of Ag/Bi2O3 and Ag/Bi2O3-curdlan nanocomposites utilizing an aqueous extract of Sargassum latifolium. The optical, physicochemical, and morphological properties of the nanocomposites were studied using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, Zeta potential, DLS, HR-TEM, SEM, EDX, and XRD techniques. Phytochemical analysis of S. latifolium extract revealed the presence of polyphenols (102.96 ± 1.57 mg GAE/g dry extract), flavonoids (41.58 ± 1.88 mg QE/g dry extract), and tannins (58.56 ± 1.49 mg TAE/100 g dry weight). The antioxidant activity, evaluated using the DPPH assay, demonstrated that S. latifolium extract exhibited the highest activity (IC50 = 0.069 ± 1.11 mg/mL), followed by Ag/Bi2O3 NC (IC50 = 0.282 ± 1.08 mg/mL) and Ag/Bi2O3-curdlan NC (IC50 = 1.228 ± 1.27 mg/mL). Antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria revealed that Ag/Bi2O3-curdlan nanocomposites exhibited considerably improved activity compared to S. latifolium extract and Ag/Bi2O3 NC. Notably, Ag/Bi2O3-curdlan NC displayed the most potent activity against E. coli with an inhibition zone of 17.0 ± 1.13 mm, surpassing the inhibition zone of gentamicin against S. typhimurium and K. pneumoniae (13.0 mm). These findings highlight the potential of S. latifolium extract for the green synthesis of Ag/Bi2O3-curdlan nanocomposites with enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This eco-friendly approach holds promise for the development of novel and effective antimicrobial agents with potential applications in various fields.
