BIOSYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM RUMEX ALVEOLATUS AND INVESTIGATION OF THEIR POTENTIAL IMPACT ON ASPERGLLUS NIGER

Background and Aim:Nanoparticle synthesis using plants is an alternative to conventional physical and chemical methods.Methods:The present study describes a rapid and eco-friendly synthesis of AgNPs using Rumex alveolatus leaf extract, characterizing and the study of antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR and Scanning electron microscopy.Results:The obtained crystaline structure of silver nanoparticles ranged in size from 50 to 90 and was mostly spherical in shape. Synthetized silver nanoparticle by Rumex alveolatus showed antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger.Conclusion:These results provide insight into the development of new antimicrobial agents against fungi.
