Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) were synthesised by using the Arial part extract of . and characterised by employing UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Transmission electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy were applied to investigate the morphological structure of the bio-synthesised SNPs. The antimicrobial activity of SNPs was studied against Gram positive ( and ) and Gram-negative ( and ) bacteria by employing the disk diffusion agar process. An extremely antimicrobial effect was observed for SNPs. Utilising as a mediator for the synthesis of SNPs helped to save time and cost.
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.
