Comparative analysis of Silver Nanoparticles prepared from Different Plant extracts (Hibiscus rosa sinensis, Moringa oleifera, Acorus calamus, Cucurbita maxima, Azadirachta indica) through green synthesis method.

Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticle is a novel way to synthesis nanoparticles by using biological sources. It is gaining attention due to its cost effective, ecofriendly and large scale production possibilities. In this present study five plants Hibiscus rosa sinensis, Cucurbita maxima, Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica and Acorus calamus were taken to investigate their potential for synthesizing silver nanoparticle. The silver nanoparticles synthesized were confirmed by their change of colour to dark brown due to the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance. The characterization studied was done by UV-vis spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential studies, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). All the five plants synthesized silver nanoparticle show good antimicrobial activity against clinically important pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Vibrio cholera and Escherichia coli.
