Cover Story: The effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on bacterial cells involve various cellular processes. Porous silica materials modified with metallic nanophases and chitosan biofilms provide functional adsorption–biostatic systems. AgNP–chitosan–silica composites exhibit antimicrobial activity, with the inhibition zone sizes correlating with silver content. Their primary antibacterial mechanism is the release of silver ions, causing cell damage and death. Their antimicrobial activity was tested on Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and others; the inhibition zones ranged from 14 to 21 mm for C. albicans and from 12 to 17 mm for S. aureus. The composites' ability to purify water and wastewater from anionic pollutants was evaluated through adsorption studies using Acid Red 88 dye. View this paper
