Abstract

Despite the potent antimicrobial activity of magnetite nanoparticles (MtNPs), research on the antifungal activity of MtNP against filamentous fungi is rare. In this study, MtNP was synthesized by an inexpensive and easy green approach using the aqueous extract of Ananas comosus (pineapple) peels (AP), and applied as an antifungal agent against the filamentous fungal pathogens Fusarium verticilliodes, Aspergillus flavus, and Alternaria alternata (CGJM3078 and CGJM3006). The AP-mediated MtNP (AP-MtNP) was characterized by the XRD, UV-Visible, FTIR, BET, TGA, SEM, TEM, and EDX techniques. These characterizations revealed the successful synthesis of AP-MtNP by the reducing and stabilizing action of the aqueous extract of AP. The BET analysis showed a high surface area of 233.8 m2/g, while high thermal stability of AP-MtNP was displayed by the TGA. The SEM and TEM images mostly showed spherical AP-MtNPs with an average size of 17.87 nm and a somewhat dispersed and porous surface morphology. The newly synthesized AP-MtNPs exhibited effective antifungal activity against the four fungal strains.
