Abstract

Nanotechnology is the study and application of very small particles and may be used in different opposite fields namely biology, physics, chemistry, engineering and materials science. The silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have fascinated growing interest because of their different biological and physiochemical properties and in between 1-100 nm of size. The purpose of current study was to investigate the synthesis of silver nano particles from Curry, Neem leaves, Citrobacter and checks its antimicrobial activity against Staph and Proteus. We have taken 2 samples of different plants made extract and synthesized the silver nano particles from Curry, Neem extract and microorganism. The higher values were recorded for Curry, Neem leaves extract and Citrobacter from 350 to 450 wavelengths respectively by the graphs. The current findings were concluded that the Curry, Neem leaves extract and Citrobacter play an important role inside the reduction and stabilization of silver to silver nanoparticles. It is utilized in several medicines and cosmetics etc, because it has conductive and optical properties.
