Abstract
Xanthomonas arbor�?颅cola juglandis is the main causative microorganism of brown apical necrosis in walnuts (Juglans regia L.), in addition to secondary fungal pathogens such as Fusarium and Alternaria species. This pathology is responsible of premature drop fruit and economic losses of over 70% were detected in 2012 in Rio Negro valley. This study aims to develop methods that allow early diagnosis anticipate infection by microorganisms and act quickly. For this, gold nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction using tetrachloroauric acid and sodium citrate, and functionalized with chitosan. Nanoparticles (NPs Au-CH) were subsequently characterized by several techniques. The results of UV-visible spectroscopy tests showed a characteristic band at 530 nm; studies of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed homogeneous and spherical morphology and particles size of 15�?卤5 nm; energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) assay showed a characteristic spectrum of 2 keV and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) with characteristic peaks between 37�?掳 and 38�?掳. Finally, Xanthomonas arboricola antibodies were immobilized on the NPs Au-CH surface using glutaraldehyde, obtaining as result a nanostructured platform for the development of an immunosensor for early detection of this microorganism. We concluded that the nanostructured platform can be used to attach different specific biomolecules that recognize microorganisms responsible for apical necrosis and thus make early detection before physical manifestation of the symptomatology occur.Biography
