SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF ESSENTIAL OILS AND SILVER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED USING GELATIN FOR ANTIBACTERIAL, SOIL RESPIRATION AND SOIL ENZYME ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the synthesis of gelatin (Gel) and gelatin-glucose (Gel-Glu) mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and to investigate their synergies with different essential oils (EO) for antibacterial activity as well as their effects on soil respiration and soil enzyme activities. The antibacterial activities were evaluated using the agar diffusion test. The results of STEM analysis revealed that Gel-Glu-AgNPs in the range of 5–25 nm had a smaller size than Gel-AgNPs. Furthermore, we found that both AgNPs were positively charged by zeta analysis. In addition, at least one of the combinations of Gel-AgNPs and Gel-Glu-AgNPs with EO increased the antibacterial activity. The results also showed that AgNPs reduced soil respiration at the end of 120 h and that combinations of AgNPs and essential oils caused a significant reduction in alkaline phosphatase activities of soil samples compared to dehydrogenase activity, particularly at higher exposure times and concentrations. In conclusion, gelatin played an important role as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of AgNPs. Finally, it was evaluated that combining nanoparticles and essential oil led to different results in the interaction of AgNPs with bacteria, which was additionally confirmed by soil respiration and enzyme analysis. The results justify further developing new strategies to uncover the effects of silver nanoparticles in different applications.
