Abstract
The present study uses silver nanoparticles that are biosynthesized from Eugenia jambolana aqueous silver nitrate solution jambolana fresh seed extracts were combined with silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form the silver nanoparticle. UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, XRD, SEM, and FTIR were used to characterise the synthesised silver nanoparticles. It was established that nanoparticles had formed in the sample by SEM examination, which revealed that they had a spherical shape. Nanoparticles from seed extracts showed more antibacterial activity on Pseudomonas aeruginosa followed by Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio cholerae, and Staphylococcus aureus. This study makes evidence that seed extracts of Eugenia jambolana act as an excellent capping agent for the formation of silver nanoparticles and show immense Pharmacological activities. Hence, these AgNPs can be used as an antimicrobial agent in treating many medical complications. In this present study, the antibacterial activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles from Eugenia jambolana seeds shows the zone of inhibition against all four pathogens.
