    Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Rheum ribes, characterization and the evaluation of its toxicity on HUVECs and Artemia salina

    Unal, Ilkay; Egri, Sinan

    This study describes an eco-friendly procedure to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using fresh and dried stem extract of Rheum ribes. AgNPs formation was confirmed using UV-vis spectrometry. The effects of parameters such as temperature, reaction time, pH, AgNO3 concentration, and plant extract/AgNO3 ratio on NP formation were evaluated. Morphology and structural features of the particles were characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, and FTIR. The average size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential were determined using DLS. After characterization, among the two AgNP samples, selected one; AgNP sample synthesized by dried Rheum ribes stem extracts (d-AgNPs), which exhibited narrow size distribution and high surface plasmon resonance in the range of 435-445 nm for toxicity assessment. The cytotoxic effect of d-AgNPs on HUVECs cells was evaluated with MTT analysis. Accumulation measurements were made in three periods as 24, 48, and 72 h and elimination values were examined at +24 h using ICP-MS analysis

    Plant extract-based biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle and silver–zinc nanocomposites-doped hydroxyapatite and its antimicrobial activity

    Unal, Ilkay; Aydoğdu, Burcu; Aytar, Mehmet

    Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an essential material in the biomedical field because of its chemical composition, similar to the apatites found in bones. The lack of bactericidal properties of HAp-based materials cannot prevent the adhesion and growth of bacteria. However, it can develop composite biomaterials using nanoparticles (NPs) such as silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn), which exhibit biocidal behaviours to control resistant microorganisms. This study aimed to prepareHAp–AgNPs and HAp–Ag@ZnNPs nanocomposite and evaluate their antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. HAp powders were produced from sheep bone. An aqueous extract of Marrubium astracanicum was used as a reducing and stabilising agent for the synthesis of NPs. The composites were characterized by XRD, SEM–EDX, SEM and FTIR. In vitro biocompatibility assessment was determined by agar well diffusion tests. The HAp–Ag@ZnNPs nanocomposites showed stronger antimicrobial activity than HAp–AgNPs against bacteria and fungi, while pure HAp did not show any effect.

    The effects of biosynthesized silver nanoparticle on oxidative stress parameters in model organism Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758)

    Ünal, İlkay; Ertürk Gürkan, Selin

    Evaluation of the effects of nanomaterials in various habitats and living groups is increasing with in vitro and in vivo studies. This study aims to describe a biological procedure to synthesize silver nanoparticles using an extract of Marrubium astracanicum and to determine the aquatic environment’s oxidative stress on Artemia salina. Silver nanoparticle formation was visually observed with color change. Its structural properties, such as size, shape, morphology, and stability, were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, TEM, SEM, XRD, and DLS analyses. TEM image showed that the synthesized AgNPs have a size of between 20 and 50 nm. The effects of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles at different concentrations (control,0.2, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/mL) and exposure times (24, 48 and 72 h) on total glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation levels (MDA) were investigated on the Artemia salina organism, which is one of the most common saltwater organisms frequently used in ecotoxicity tests.

    Hibrit biyonanokompozit malzemelerin sentezlenmesi ve sulu çözeltilerden neodimyum gideriminde kullanımının modellenmesi

    Hakan Andiçi

    Bu tez çalışmasında aljinat ve kitosan kaplı manyetik demir oksit (Fe3O4) nanopartiküllerin (aljinat-Fe3O4, kitosan-Fe3O4), biyosentez tekniği ile sentezlendi. Sentezlenen aljinat- Fe3O4 ve kitosan-Fe3O4 hibrit biyonanokompozitlere sabit bir kolon içerisinde Nd3+'nın adsorpsiyonu ve desorpsiyonu yanıt yüzey metodolojisi (YYM) ile kombine edilmiş bir merkezi kompozit tasarım yaklaşımı (MKT) kullanılarak ve kontrollü desorpsiyonu incelendi. Aljinat-Fe3O4 ve kitosan-Fe3O4 nanokompozitlerin karakterizasyonu UV-GB, FT-IR, TGA-DTA, XRD ve SEM-EDS kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Sentezlenen ve karakterize edilen söz konusu biyokompozite malzemelere, Nd3+ iyonlarının adsorpsiyonu, çözelti pH'ı, çözeltinin kolondan akış hızı ve başlangıç Nd3+ iyonları konsantrasyonunun bir fonksiyonu olarak incelendi. Nd3+'nın hem aljinat-Fe3O4 hem de kitosan-Fe3O4 hibrit biyo-nanokompozit üzerine adsorpsiyonu sabit yataklı bir kolon sistemi kullanılarak optimum koşullar pH 5.4, çözeltinin kolondan akış hızı 4.0 mL dk-1 ve Nd3+ iyonları başlangıç konsantrasyonunun 120 mg L-1 olarak belirlendi. Aljinat-Fe3O4 ve kitosan-Fe3O4 biyo-nanokompozitlerin maksimum adsorpsiyon kapasitesi ve verimliliği sırasıyla 125.01 mg g-1, %99.8; 99.99 mg g-1, % 99.8 olarak hesaplandı. Deneysel parametrelerin optimizasyonu MKT yaklaşımı ile gerçekleştirildi ve önerilen kuadratik modelden hem aljinat-Fe3O4 hem de kitosan-Fe3O4 Nd3+ iyonlarının adsorpsiyonu için birer matematiksel model elde edilerek sunuldu. Varyans analizi sonuçları sentezlenen her iki kompozit malzemenin Nd3+ iyonlarının gideriminde kullanılmasındaki belirleme katsayılarının yüksek olduğunu gösterdi.

    Green Synthesis (Paeonia kesrouanensis) of Silver Nanoparticles and Toxicity Studies in Artemia salina

    Unal, İlkay; Egri, Sinan; Ates, Mehmet

    This study aims to describe a simple and environmentally friendly procedure for producing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Paeonia kesrouanensis (P. kesrouanensis) extracts and to determine the toxic effect in the aquatic environment. The morphologies, size, size distributions, and structural properties were analyzed using SEM-EDX, TEM, DLS, zeta potential, FTIR, and XRD. AgNPs were applied to Artemia salina (A.salina), aquatic organism individuals at 7 different concentrations (0.0, 0.2, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 mg/L) for 24, 48, and 72 h. AgNPs accumulation and elimination, ion release amounts, and the survival rates of organisms were determined at periods of 24, 48, and 72nd hours. The highest accumulation was observed at the 24th hour at the 50 mg/L exposure level. The survival rate decreased as exposure time increased at all concentrations.

    Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using marine bacteria and Box–Behnken design optimization

    Camas, Mustafa; Celik, Fatih; Sazak Camas, Anil; Ozalp, Hasan Baris

    Gold nanoparticles are exciting materials because of their potential applications in optics, electronics, biomedical, and pharmaceutical fields. In recent years, environmentally friendly, low-cost biosynthesis methods with bio-applicable features have continued to be developed for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. In the present study, an actinobacterial strain was isolated from the Petrosia ficiformis (Poiret 1798) sponge, which was collected from a marine environment, and the gold nanoparticle synthesis was performed for the first time from the bacteria type belonging to the Citricoccus genus. The synthesis conditions were optimized using the Box–Behnken experimental design, with a statistical method that included three independent variables (temperature, time, and mixture ratio) to affect the synthesis at three levels (+1, 0, and −1). Accordingly, the conditions proposed for the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles at the maximum optical density values that are specific for the Citricoccus sp. K1D109 strain were estimated as 35°C temperature, 24 h, and 1/5 mixture ratio (cell-free extract/HAuCl4 · 3H2O). When recommended conditions were applied, it was determined that the maximum absorbance of the synthesized gold nanoparticles is 1.258 at 545 nm, and their sizes are in the range of 25–65 nm, according to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data.
