“…Minimum inhibitory concentration exhibited by silver nanoparticle synthesised using rice paper plant stem (Zeng et al, 2007) and bamboo leaves (Sohail, Liu, & Yao, 2013) were found to be 14.1 and 20 mg L -1 , respectively. Similarly, Terminalia bellirica fruit extract (Anand & Mandal, 2015) and Withania somnifera leaf extract (Raut, Mendhulkar, & Kashid, 2014) synthesized SNPs displayed MIC of 20 mg mL -1 against both E.coli and S. aureus and 1.8 ± 0.20 and 1.2 ± 0.14 mg L -1 respectively, while Paederia foetida mediated leaf extracts (Kumar, Singh, Halder, & Mitra, 2014) showed 5.394 and 4.454 mg L -1 MIC for E.coli and S. aureus, respectively. Overall, the results of this report, pointed out that the silver nanoparticle produced by Z. mauritiana showed excellent antibacterial activity compared to the plant extract.…”
