A GREEN APPROACH FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ANTIMICROBIALBIO-SURFACTANT SILVER NANOPARTICLES BY USING A FERN

[摘要] Advancement of an environment-friendly, trustworthy, and speedy route for the generation of Ag-NP using natural system is an essential urge in nanotechnology. This study accounts for the efficacy of liquid extract of Adiantum lunulatum Burm. f. for the synthesis of Ag-NP. This is the first attempt of introducing the biosynthesis mechanism of Ag-NP using the extract of this plant along with the antimicrobial evaluation of the Ag-NP. All the detailed features of the fabricated nanoparticles were well documented by UV-Vis, DLS, Zeta Potential, FTIR, EDX, XRD, and TEM. The mean diameter of Ag-NP was about 28±2 nm. Antibacterial proficiency of Ag-NP was also determined against various gram natured pathogenic bacteria.
