Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are popular consumer product additives due
to their well-known antimicrobial properties. Nowadays, their usage has
increased after the emergence of green synthesis method with less toxicity than
conventional methods. In this study, we aimed to reveal the antimicrobial
potential of phyto-synthesized AgNP by Laurus
nobilis L. extracts against different Gram-positive, Gram-negative
bacteria as well as Candida albicans ATCC 10231. Phyto-synthesized
AgNPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, zeta size-potential
analysis, UV-Visible spectroscopy and FT-IR analysis. The results showed that
the size of AgNP was 50 nm and coated by phyto-constituents such as phenolic
compounds according to FT-IR results. The antimicrobial activity of AgNP was
determined by MIC and MBC tests. The results pointed that green synthesized
AgNPs are effective against various microorganisms.
