ABSTRACT
An Egyptian rhizobacterium Azospirillum sp. isolated from Sadat city was able to produce indole acetic acid (IAA) up to (30.59 µg/ml). The isolate was identified biochemically and by 16S rRNA sequencing which showed 99.9% similarity to Azospirillum brasilense. The new isolate has been registered in Genbank with accession number MH179119.1. Extracted IAA was used as reducing or stabilizing agent of sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Successful fabrication of biogenic IAA-AgNPs was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) analysis of IAA which showed absorbance peak at 3434.78 cm-1 due to the N-H stretch of primary amines. Highly resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) showed AgNPs coating or capping with IAA in spherical shaped with size ranged from 6.01 to 44.02 nm. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis revealed that Ag+ ions were attached to the surface of IAA-AgNPs particles. HR-TEM examination showed cell wall damage of Citrobacter freundii cells after exposure to IAA-AgNPs leading to cell death. In vivo results showed that C. freundii infection of rats induced significant increase in liver and kidney functions and deleterious histopathological alteration in rat's tissues. However, treatment by extracted IAA and IAA-AgNPs could normalize the biochemical and histopathological alterations occurred in infected rats. This is the first study to prove that IAA extracted from Azospirillum brasilense is a hopeful capping agent for NPs which has potential to protect against pathogenic infections, nontoxic and/or safe on rat's metabolisms.
