PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING, SILVER NANOPARTICLE SYNTHESIS AND ANTIBACTERIAL STUDIES ON THE LEAVES OF AESCHYNOMENE ASPERA L.
Green synthesis is one of the best routes for the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The present study revealed that the aqueous leaf extracts of Aeschynomene aspera, which contains alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, anthocyanidins, indoles, glycosides, saponins and tannins, is found to be responsible for bioreduction during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs). The colour change from ...
