Abstract:
Nanomaterials find a wide variety of applications in many technologies of the present and most plans for the future. Use of fungal strains for synthesis of nanomaterials is especially significant because their enzymes are secreted outside and hence extraction techniques become a lot easier. Keeping this in mind we have conducted this study to synthesize of bioactive nanostructures from Aspergillus versicolor in varying concentration of Silver Nitrate solution and their activity against human pathogenic fungi. The nanoislands are characterized by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), UV Visible Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The resultant Ag nanoparticles are found to be effectively active against Microsporum Gypseum.Keywords: SILVER NANOPARTICLES; SYNTHESIS; ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY

- Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) typically covers atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM, or SNOM) and related technologies. Since its invention in early 1980s, SPM has now been regarded as one of the major driving forces for the rapid development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, and the tool of choice in many areas of research. Journal of Scanning Probe Microscopy (JSPM) provides a forum for rapid dissemination of important developments in SPM technology. JSPM offers scientists, engineers and developers timely, peer-reviewed research on SPM science and technology of the highest quality. JSPM publishes original rapid communications, full research papers and timely state-of-the-art reviews (with author's photo and biography) encompassing the fundamental and applied research on SPM in all fields of science, engineering, and medicine.
