Biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles using Drimia indica and exploring its antibacterial profiling

Abstract

AbstractBiological synthesis reflects as an eco-friendly, nontoxic and easy method of nanoparticle preparation. Present investigation deals with biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Drimia indica leaf extract. Initially the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized and confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM. The synthesized nanoparticles when used for determination of antibacterial activity, by Microtitre Broth Dilution method exhibited remarkable activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.
