Abstract
Different methods are reported for synthesis of AgNPs. In this research green synthesis of AgNPs is used as it is simple, economical, environmentally friendly and nontoxic process. Leaves extract of Rudraksha plant has been used for synthesis of AgNPs. Rudraksha and AgNPs both have antimicrobial activity. Green Reduction Ag+ was carried out. Phytochemicals present in leaves extract was studied at room temperature. The Synthesized AgNPs was characterized using techniques UV -visible Spectral analysis, XRD, and FTIR followed by assessment of antimicrobial property against some bacteria and fungus of extract, AgNPs and their composite 1:1 mass ratio. The size of synthesized AgNPs was about 11.93nm. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs was enhanced by leaf extract of Rudraksha.
