Herein we report the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (EcAgNPs) from water fraction (Ecs), obtained from methanol extract of Eucalyptus camaldulensis at room conditions. UV-vis, HR-TEM and SEM-EDS devices were used to characterize the EcAgNPs. The UV-visible spectrum of EcAgNPs showed surface plasmon resonance peak at 420 nm. HR-TEM images showed that the EcAgNPs were spherical with a diameter in the range 3.7-29.6 nm. Ag + ions were reduced to Ag o by phytochemicals in the without adding external reducing agent. The presence of biomolecules in the Ecs was investigated by UPLC-MS/MS that detected gallic acid (20.26±0.10 ppb) and quercetin (12.4±0.08 ppb) as major constituents. The antimicrobial activities of Ecs and synthesized EcAgNPs were tested on Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus strains and Candida albicans yeast. Ecs exhibited antimicrobial activity as
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
