TEM analysis revealed the average diameter of Ag NPs around 8 nm which is in good agreement with the average crystallite size(10 nm)calculated from X-ray Diffraction(XRD)analysis. Further the study has been extended to the antimicrobial activity against test pathogenic Gram(+)ve,Gram(-)ve bacterial and fungal strains. The bioinspired Ag-NP showed promising activity against all the tested bacterial strains and the activity was enhanced with increased dosage levels展开更多
