摘要
In the present study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is demonstrated using medicinal herb Swertia paniculata extract. The plant extract acted both as reducing and capping agents during synthesis process, where silver nitrate was used as silver source. Subsequent analysis revealed that particles had size range between 31 and 44 nm and were spherical in shape. Among reaction parameters, temperature and time had significantly influenced the synthesis reaction. Also, synthesized nanoparticles were found stable up to 90 days. Further, antimicrobial activity against gram negative and gram positive bacterial strains was done and results showed that synthesized AgNPs had better antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae under standard incubation conditions. Study shows that these particles can be very promising in biomedical applications in future.
