Characterization and Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Prepared from Sclerocarya birrea Stem bark and Leaf Extracts

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using the stem extract and leaf extract of Sclerocarya birrea (Marula) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is reported. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray s...
