Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) was synthesized using the cell free extract of Scenedesmus abundans with AgNO3. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Photoluminescence. Bioreduction of Ag+ ions showed a gradual change in the colour of the extract and nanoparticles were synthesized having the range of 420–440 nm under UV-visible spectrum. The antibacterial efficacy was assessed against pathogenic bacteria E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Aeromonas hydrophila. The present study revealed that the AgNPs prepared from Scenedesmus abundans show antibacterial efficacy against the test pathogens. The bioaccumulation of silver particles makes the organism potential candidate for ecofriendly silver biorecovery system and S. abundans can be used as a source of silver nanoparticles.

Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are environment friendly, cost-effective, bio-compatible and expanding research area due to their potential applications in medical domain. The present study focuses on biologically synthesized of AgNPs using aqueous root extract of  Iris germanica as reducing agent as well as capping agent and examined their potential antibacterial efficacy. In reduction reaction it was observed that silver (Ag+1) ions associate in root extract and reduced in solution (Ag0) leads to formation of stable formation of spherical AgNPs. Biosynthesized AgNPs showed an effective and rapid antibacterial activity against both bacterial strain (gram+ve and gram-ve). Results exhibited that AgNPs were extremely toxic towards Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli pathogenic bacterial strains and can be utilized for the applications in biomedical science.

Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Hymenocallis species (Spider Lilly) leaf extract was subjected for investigation of its antimicrobial property against four bacterial species (E. coli, Salmonella sp., Streptococcus sp. & Staphylococcus sp.). The results revealed that synthesized nanoparticles solution very much justify the color change property from initial light yellow to final reddish brown during the synthesis producing a characteristics absorption peak in the range of 434-466 nm. As antimicrobial agents, their efficacy was evaluated by analysis of variance in between the species and among the different concentration of AgNPs solution, which clearly showed that there was significant variation in the antibiotic property between the four different concentrations of AgNPs solution and also among four different species of bacteria taken under studies. However, silver nanoparticles solution of 1: 9 and 1:4 were proved comparatively more efficient as antimicrobial agents against four species of bacteria.
