dc.description.abstractSince thermophilic microorganisms are valuable sources of thermostable enzymes, it is essential to recognize the potential toxicity of silver nanoparticles used in diverse industrial sectors. Thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus vulcani 2Cx, Bacillus licheniformis 3CA, Paenibacillus macerans 3CA1, Anoxybacillus ayderensis FMB1, and Bacillus paralicheniformis FMB2-1 were selected, and their MIC and MBC values were assessed by treatment with AgNPs in a range of 62.5-1500 mu g mL(-1). The growth inhibition curves showed that the G. vulcani 2Cx, and B. paralicheniformis FMB2-1 strains were more sensitive to AgNPs, demonstrating a reduction in population by 71.1% and 31.7% at 62.5 mu g mL(-1) and by 82.9% and 72.8% at 250 mu g mL(-1), respectively. TEM and FT-IR analysis revealed that AgNPs caused structural damage, cytoplasmic leakage, and disruption of cellular integrity. Furthermore, cell viability showed a significant decrease alongside an increase in superoxide radical (SOR; O-2(-)) production. beta-galactosidase biosynthesis decreased to 28.8% level at 500 mu g mL(-1) AgNPs for G. vulcani 2Cx, 32.2% at 250 mu g mL(-1) for A. ayderensis FMB1, and 38.8% only at 62.5 mu g mL(-1), but it was completely inhibited at 500 mu g mL(-1) for B. licheniformis 3CA. Moreover, B. paralicheniformis FMB2-1 showed a significant decrease to 11.2% at 125 mu g mL(-1). This study is the first to reveal the toxic effects of AgNPs on thermophilic bacteria.en_US
