Biological 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. .. View More»
