Biosynthesis: Physical And Chemical Characterization Of Silver Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extract Of Pergularia Daemia And Its Antimicrobial Activity

The recent study deals with the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles bounded to pergularia daemia plant extract silver nanoparticles ( PD @ Ag-Nps) was characterized by PXRD, UV-Vis, FESEM and EDX, FTIR, DLS. The highly stable PD @ Ag-NPs was found promising as antibacterial and antifungal agents when tested against human pathogens Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, Candida vulgaris respectively. Conclusion, the antibacterial and antifungal properties of the synthesized AgNps from pergularia daemia act as major therapeutic drug for microbial infections disease and other health associated disorders.
