Biotechnological potential of silver nanoparticles synthesized by green method to control phytopathogenic bacteria: contributions from a proteomic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized through green synthesis routes are widely used as antimicrobial agents due to their advantages such as biocompatibility, stability, sustainability, speed and cost-effectiveness. Although AgNPs appear to be more potent than silver ions, the mechanisms related to their antibacterial activity are not yet fully understood. The most common proposed mechanism of AgNPs' toxicity so far is the release of silver ions and/or specific functions of the particles. In this context, the present study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of action of AgNPs synthesized using noni fruit peels (Morinda citrifolia) against the phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) through proteomics. Xcc was treated with AgNPs (32 µM), AgNO₃ (32 µM), or re
