Biosynthesized nanoparticles showed maximum antimicrobial activity against K. pneumonia (13±1.67mm), E.coli (13±1.97mm) and B. subtilis (13±1.07mm) followed by P. aeruginosa and minimum against S. aureus. The quantitative formation, characteristics and impurities of silver nanoparticles were studied using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, EDX spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Based on this investigation these silver nanoparticles may be used in effluent treatment process for reducing the microbial load.}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Nano Dimension (Int.
