ABSTRACT
Objectives:The green biosynthesis of nanoparticles play a vital role in
present day research because of their wider application in many fields
of biological science and medicine. The biosynthesis of silver
nanoparticles are done using dried leaves of Boerhaavia diffusa (S1)
and Cichorium intybus (S2) by reacting these samples with 1mM
concentration of silver nitrate. Methods: Characterization are done
using UV Spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EDAX and FTIR, Antibacterial
and antifungal studies are carried out for synthesized nanoparticles
using two plant sources. Results: UV , XRD, SEM, EDAX and FTIR
confirms the formation, crystal structure, size, elemental silver
formation and functional group responsible for the capping and
stabilization of nanoparticles. Both plants sources are possessed
antibacterial and antifungal activities. Conclusion: Boerhaavia diffusa L. and Cichorium
intybus L. plant sources have good capabilities for synthesize silver nano particles by
biological route. Synthesized nanoparticles by both sources have antibacterial and antifungal
properties.
