Bioreduction of Ag+ to Ag0 was observed when aqueous extract augmented with silver nitrate (AgNO3) was incubated for 2 hours at 1000C. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance as determined by UV-Vis spectra at 430 nm. Silver nanoparticles of size ranging from 5-14 nm of spherical shape were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These nanoparticles were found to possess potential antibacterial activity against (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella) using disc diffusion method and macro dilution(tube)broth method. This environmental friendly method provides a simple, easy, fast and cost effective method for nanoparticles synthesis and can be used in several areas of medicines and industries.}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Nano Dimension (Int.
