Abstract

Green synthesis of Silver nanoparticles was carried out using Calendula officinalis (marigold flower) extract without use of any organic solvent and heat. The biosynthesis of Ag nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and XRD. The surface morphology and size of the prepared nanoparticles were confirmed by TEM. The anti-bacterial properties of the prepared NPs were tested against E. coli bacteria by growth inhibitory zone plate well method.
