摘要

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have garnered significant attention due to their diverse applications in nanotechnology, biomedicine, and environmental science. This study explores the biogenic synthesis of AgNPs utilizing various agro-industrial wastes by Bacillus subtilis AMD2024 as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical synthesis methods. We evaluated a range of agro-industrial by-products, including blackstrap sugarcane molasses, sugar beet waste, and arish cheese whey, for their potential in AgNPs production. Comprehensive characterization techniques—such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV-visible spectroscopy, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), zeta potential analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)—were employed to assess the properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. The DLS and UV-visible study findings were obtained at a particle size of 15.63 nm and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of 0.593 at 450 nm, respectively. The time course showed the maximum concentration of AgNPs after 48 h at 1.535 mg/L. The preliminary findings suggest that the size of the synthesized AgNPs was effectively reduced to as low as 4.849 nm when using blackstrap sugarcane molasses. The cytotoxicity assessment revealed a half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 200 mg/mL against normal kidney epithelial cell lines, indicating the potential for safe applications in infection control and water treatment. This study highlights the applicability of agro-industrial waste valorization in nanoparticle synthesis, showcasing its promise for developing effective antimicrobial agents in various sectors.
