Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) Using Muntingia Calabura and its Antibiogram Effects on Microorganisms Isolated in Drinking Water Samples Collected From Water Filters

Sruthy Mohan | Dr. M. Thangavel

Abstract: Water is the mother liquor of all forms of life. The essentiality of water for living systems is very evident and without water there is no life. The water should be microbiologically safe for drinking. Hence it requires a thorough analysis before use. Green synthesis of nanoparticles is a promising area, because of its applications in the field of physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. The synthesized nanomaterials are used in medicinal and technological aspects. Biological synthesis also called green synthesis of nanoparticles where biological enzymes from plant extracts, fungi, bacteria are used. This method is eco-friendly and reduces toxicity and waste production.
