BIOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FOR ANTIMICROBIAL APPLICATIONS: A SHORT REVIEW

Abstract

In every branches of science along with medical fields nanoparticles are being utilized and still there are chances to investigate the subject with extensive research for new dimensions for their corresponding small sizes. Synthesis of plant extract based nanoparticles has proved their application in the antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria. Among several newly synthesized nanoparticles, Silver nanoparticles have attracted much attention. Usually syntheses of silver nanoparticles are by using chemicals as reducing agents, which is at high risk due its toxicity. Therefore, there is a need to develop biological processes which is plant based and so that it will be environment friendly also. Plant based biological molecules go through greatly in controlled manner for converting them which are proper for the synthesis of nanoparticles. In the present paper describes the review of silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial activity applications.
