Objective: The present study was aimed for the isolation and identification of Fusarium sp from the soil sample. The silver nanoparticles were synthesized by using extracellular fungal cell filtrate. Methodology: The synthesized silver nanoparticles were identified by colour changing of the filtrate and confirmed with the help of UV-Vis spectroscopy study. Further, it has to be characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy ( EDX), Particle size analyzer (PSA). The synthesized silver nanoparticles were tested for antibacterial activity on E.coli sp, Klebsiella sp, Salmonella sp, Proteus sp, Staphyloccocus sp, MRSA and Pseudomonas sp by disc diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentration for bacteria was done for the synthesized silver nanoparticles. The Antifungal activity was tested on Penicillium sp, Aspergillus niger, A.flavus, A.fumigatus, A.terrus. The Antioxidant assay was also done for synthesized silver nanoparticles by DPPH. Results and Discussion: These nanoparticles showed an absorption peak at 436 nm in the UV – Visible spectrum. The characterization of AgNPs was examined as 14 nm in size range which is performed by PSA. The antibacterial, antifungal, minimum inhibitory concentration and antioxidant activity results were good for the above mentioned microorganisms. The biosynthesized nanoparticles are to be applied in food wrapping material in the future.
