Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract and evaluation of its antibacterial activity

In this work, an eco-friendly and cost effective green synthesis has been employed to the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) from the non-toxic aqueous Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract as a reducing agent. The surface plasmon resonance band at 442 nm in the UV–visible absorption spectra stro...
