Silver, manganese, nickel, and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles capped with caprylic acid were synthesized using a previously reported non-hydrolytic coprecipitation method carried out under an inert atmosphere. FTIR was used to verify the presence of the capping agent on the particles and XRD was used to verify a magnetite crystal phase as well as estimate the crystallite size using the Scherrer equation. Mean particle diameter was measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particles were then tested against <i>E. carotovora, E. aerogenes, S. marcescens, E. coli, M. luteus, P. putida, B. licheniformis, S. maltophilia </i>to determine the potential effects of the particles on economically relevant and pathogenic species.
