Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Phyllanthus emblica (Indian Gooseberry) for Potent Antimicrobial Efficacy

Abstract

Nowadays cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies for nanomaterial synthesis have gained attention in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. The present study is focused on synthesizing silver nanoparticles using Phyllanthus emblica for a green approach. UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, XRD, SEM, and FTIR were used to characterise the synthesised silver nanoparticles. It was determined that spherical shaped nanoparticles by SEM examination, which revealed that the average particle size was 20 nm. Antibacterial activity of AgNPs analyzed with the help of Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas auriginosa, and Bacillus subtilis bacteria, and the result shows that a higher concentration of AgNPs is increasing as well as a zone of inhibition increased.
