The genotoxicity of biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained from three microbial mediators was assessed using the Allium cepa assay. Three clusters were differentiated for the highest frequency of end points of clastogenicity (stick-ends, fragments and bridges), end points of missegregation (C-metaphases and disorder anaphases), and lowest frequency of all the end points. In these clusters, the treatments were grouped respectively as I) positive control (GSF); II) silver nanoparticles form Aspergillus niger (AgNPs-An); and III) silver nanoparticles from both Cryptococcus laurentii (AgNPs-Cl) and Rhodotorula glutinis (AgNPs-Rg), Ag + , and negative control (NC). These results were in according to the principal component analisys (PCA) where treatments were associated to each component of the genotoxic effects. The statistical comparative analysis of the mitotic index (IM) and the abnormal mitosis frequency (AM) indicated that both GSF and AgNPsAn induce significant genotoxic effect. Low genotoxic effects were attributed to AgNPs-Cl and AgNPs-Rg, but mitogenic stimuli, similar to that obtained by the silver ions Ag + , were observed. Results suggested that different features of biogenic nanoparticles such as composition, size, and coating may be involved in the different cytological responses of the meristematic cells.
