Resum
This paper reports the inhibitory potential of two new silver-based biocompatible nanoparticles (Ag NPs), specifically synthesized for this study, against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and different wine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Oenococcus oeni, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus) and acetic acid bacteria (AAB) (Acetobacter aceti and Gluconobacter oxydans). Both solid nanoparticles, dried PEG-Ag NPs 1 (20.01% silver content) and glutathione-stabilized GSH-Ag NPs 2 solution (0.197mg/mL silver content), showed homogeneous size distribution and physicochemical properties compatible with their use as antimicrobial agents. The nanoparticles showed different antimicrobial spectra, with PEG-Ag NPs 1 being more effective (lower IC50 values) against Gram-negative strains, whereas GSH-Ag NPs 2 showed similar efficiency against Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains, with the exception of O.oeni strains, which turned out to be notably susceptible to them (IC50 ~1μg/mL, Ag concentration). For the LAB and AAB tested, these nanoparticles showed IC50 values (particle concentration) of the same order as those for the widely used additive potassium metabisulphite, at least as calculated for PEG-Ag NPs 1. These results confirm the potential of Ag NPs in controlling microbial processes in winemaking, and open new investigations on the design and use of antimicrobial-specific silver-based nanoparticles in oenology.
