Abstract:
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) antimicrobial activity has been known to be more effective than any antibiotics. Diseases caused by pathogenic fungi have increased because of the ability of pathogenic fungi to survive against the antibiotic.
Silver nanoparticles have the ability to inhibit the transport material from the environment around microorganisms. The aims of this study are to measure the
value of Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and Minimal Fungicidal
Concentrations (MFC) of colloidal AgNPs to Aspergillus niger. MIC and MBC
are determined based on the correlation between the concentration of colloidal AgNPs and the biomass of Aspergillus niger. Measurement of Aspergillus niger biomass based on treatments of Aspergillus niger spore which was applied by various concentrations of the colloidal AgNPs. Aspergillus niger spores were incubated for 5 days at room temperature above the orbital shaker. MIC of colloidal AgNPs
was Aspergillus niger was 1,18 µg·L-1
. MFC of colloidal AgNPs to Aspergillus
niger is 60,57 µg·L-1
.
