Phytofabrication of silver nanoparticles using Myriostachya wightiana as a novel bioresource, and evaluation of their biological activities

Abstract: Nanobiotechnology deals with the properties of nanomaterials and their potential uses. Here we report for the first time novel, cost-effective and eco-friendly method for the rapid green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf extracts of Myriostachya wightiana. The growth of silver nanoparticles was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy complemented by Zeta potential, dynamic light scattering technique (DLS), Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-r… Show more

“…The results of DLS analysis are shown in Figure 5a‐d. The results of present study are in line with earlier reports (Vadlapudi & Amanchy, 2017). The DLS is generally used to study polydispersity and nanosize of NPs, and zeta potential is mainly based on surface charge, local environment of nanostructures, and movement of nanoparticles in electric field (Abbasi et al, 2019; Iqbal et al, 2019).…”

“…It was found that the zeta potential value was strongly negative i.e. −18.7 mV which implies good colloidal nature of particle which was fairly stable [27].…”

“…The results reported in this work are in agreement with other works reported in the literature. In this regard, Vadlapudi and Amanchy (2017a) reported that biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized using leaf extract of Myriostacha wightiana showed antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum. However, the maximum inhibition zone was achieved with 150 μg mL −1 (11 mm) and was lower compared with the positive control (chloranphenicol at 0.1%) (20.7 mm).…”
