ZoP Inhibition of Leptospira interrogans and Escherichia coli in flood water using Silver Nanoparticles (Ag NPs) – Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) – Banana (Musa paradisiaca) Pseudostem Bionanocomposite

autorzy: NAVARRO, Marion Abilene R. POYAOAN, Christian Paul O.

The study focuses on the bactericidal activity of synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) impregnated to granular activated carbon (GAC) and immobilized in banana pseudo stem fibrous medium. The following five set-ups were used for testing and were applied to the Leptospira interrogans and E. coli contaminated water to test its antimicrobial activity. After 24 & 48 hours of inoculation, the level of bacteria present before and after the application were tabulated and compared. The bionanocomposite successfully eradicated the aforementioned bacteria in the contaminated water.
