Abstract

Nanoparticles of pure chitosan of different molecular weights are synthesized by fractional precipitation at pH 5 and 7.5. The formation of dense particles at pH 7.5 and loose gel-like particles at pH 5 is established by atomic-force microscopy. The nanoparticle dispersion obtained at pH 5 exhibits high fungicidal and bactericidal activity against Сochliobolus sativus, Alternaria solani Sorauer, and Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Smith) Davis et al. (strain 101) due to the higher availability of amino groups in looser nanoparticles. A procedure for synthesizing chitosan nanoparticles is proposed, which is ecologically friendly and makes it possible to obtain biocompatible bactericidal and fungicidal agents for plant protection.
