Antimicrobial Activity and Characteristics of Silver Nanoparticles Biosynthesized from Cheilocostus speciosus Rhizome Extracts

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In recent years' synthesis of metal nanoparticle using plants has been extensively studied and recognized as a non-toxic and efficient method applicable in biomedical field.The aim of this study is to investigate the role of medical plant Cheilocostus speciosus rhizome on synthesizing silver nanoparticles and characterize the produced nanoparticle.Our study showed that silver nanoparticles (AgNP) synthesized via rhizome extract.Cheilocostus speciosus has been found to possess antimicrobial properties, which can help fight off bacterial, fungal, and viral infections.A study investigated the antimicrobial activity of Cheilocostus speciosus against various bacterial and fungal strains.Five different extracts of this plant rhizome were used for this namely REA (ethyl acetate, RE (Chloroform), REE (Ethanol), REM (Methanol), REW (Water) and biosynthesised AgNP.
