Comparative Study of Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of Silver Nanoparticles and Capsicum Annum Leaves Extracts
Keywords:
Capsicum annum leaves, Silver Nanoparticles, Antibacterial, AntifungalAbstract
Researchers are becoming more interested in the eco-friendly bio-synthesis of Ag-NPs because they could be used in many areas of science and technology. The Capsicum annuum L. extract was used to prepare silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) by treating silver nitrate with it. To make the Ag-NPs, a water-based extract of capsicum annum leaves was used to change the Ag+ ions in silver nitrate to Ag0.The synthesized particles was characterized using SEM, EDX, FTIR, and UV visible spectroscopy. The synthesized particles and extract were then tested for their ability to kill bacteria and fungi by testing them against species like Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas florescens, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseduomonousaliginoza, Candida albicans, Rhizopus oryzae, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus Parasiticus, and Aspergillus flavus. The comparison of antibacterial and antifungal activity against microbes was carried out and it was found from the growth curves of bacteria and fungi that the silver nanoparticles showed more zone of inhibition than the plant extract.
