Abstract
The advancement of the most dependable and environmentally friendly methods for nanoparticle production represents a pivotal progression in the realm of nanotechnology. Numerous traditional methodologies applied in the nanoparticles synthesis are costly, hazardous, and not eco-friendly. To address such issues, natural sources which act as capping and reducing agents, emerge as suitable candidates for the fabrication of valuable nanoparticles. In this study, the bio fabricated silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were synthesized utilize aqueous extract of Salicornia europaea L. leaves (SEL), characterized, and used to inhibit pathogenic bacteria with high efficiency. The characterization fabricated Ag-NPs were performed using FTIR, TEM, EDX, zeta potential and biological activity evaluated against different pathogenic bacteria (gram negative and positive). In conclusion, the phyto-synthesis of Ag-NPs employing extract of SEL could give a simple, non-expensive, and green technique for synthesizing Ag-NPs that could be used efficiently as an eco-friendly antibacterial operator with broad spectrum.
