Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Bersama engleriana fruits extracts and their potential inhibitory effect on resistant bacteria. Crystals, 12(7), 1010. https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst120710102073-4352https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst12071010http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7929The absence of novel, safe, and effective bactericide is an urgent concern worldwide and remains a challenge in scientific communities. The unique proprieties of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) synthesized from plant extracts make them a suitable candidate to overcome these limitations. Herein, we synthesized SNPs from Bersama engleriana fruit (BEfr) extracts and determined their potential antibacterial activity and mode of action. SNPs were synthesized from BEfr methanolic fruit extracts at 25 and 70 C, and the antibacterial effectiveness of SNPs against bacterial strains was investigated. The surface plasmon resonance peaked at 430.18 and 434.08 nm, respectively, for SNPs synthesized at 25 and 70 C, confirming SNPs synthesis.enGreen nanotechnologyBersama englerianaAntibacterial activityPublic healthSilver nanoparticlesArticle
