Euphorbia Hirta L. Whole Plant Extract Mediated Rapid Synthesis Of Sliver Nanoparticles And Study Of Its Antibacterial Activity

Present study reported a simple and green synthesis of sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized via rapid bio-reduction method. An aqueous extract of Euphorbia hirta whole plant was serving as reducing and stabilizing agent. An aqueous extract was found to contain secondary metabolites like phenols, flavonoids, protein, terpenoids and sugars, etc which are responsible for reducing and capping agents. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV- visible spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM, XRD and AFM. Synthesized AgNPs exhibited antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
