A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM POMEGRANATE SEED, PEEL, AND LEAVES

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extract has more advantages because they are eco - friendly, easily availability and cost efficient. The bio synthesis of silver nanoparticles using pomegranate seed, peel and leaf its act as a reducing agent as well as capping agent from 1mM AgNO3 has been investigated. The formation of silver nanoparticles was characterized by UV - vis spectrum. The morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X - ray analysis (EDAX) and X - ray diffraction (XRD), with the active function al groups present in the synthesized silver nanoparticles being confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra - red (FTIR) spectroscopy. Moreover, their antibacterial activity was evaluated against Pseudomonas, Bacillus cereus, staphylococcus albus and proteus pathog ens. And anti - fungal activity was evaluated against Candida Tropical and Aspergillus. The applications of silver nanoparticles have the medical application like wound dressings, surgical instrument
