Antibacterial Studies Tabernaemontanadivaricata(Apocynaceae) Secondary Metabolites Capped Silver Nanoparticles
Journal Title: Haya: The Saudi Journal of Life Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:To study the antibacterial activity of Tabernaemontanadivaricata(Apocynaceae) secondary metabolites capped silver nanoparticles (SNPs). In the present investigation, SNPs were synthesized using an aqueous extract of T. divaricataflowers. Flower aqueous extract was mixed with 1 m M silver nitrate for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity of SNPs was determined against various bacterial cultures including laboratory isolates using the agar well diffusion method. The SNPs showed the highest antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The present study envisions on the biosynthesis of SNPs from T. divaricataplant which are emerging as antibacterial therapy in modern medical applications. Keywords: Antibacterial activity, Silver nanoparticles, Tabernaemontanadivaricata.
