SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING LANTANA CAMARA FRUIT EXTRACT AND ITS EFFECT ON PATHOGENS

摘要

A cost effectual and environment benign technique for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles through the extract of Lantana camara fruit as reducing and capping agent from 1mM AgNO3solution. Nanoparticles were characterized using UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transfer infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopic (TEM). The analysis results confirm the formation of silver nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles are found to be highly effective against different human pathogenic bacterial species
