| contents | <p><span lang="EN-US">In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized using aqueous leaf extracts of <em>Tridax procumbens</em> and evaluated for their antibacterial potential. The UV–Visible absorption spectrum of the synthesized AgNPs exhibited a characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 417 nm, confirming nanoparticle formation. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the biosynthesized AgNPs against <em>Escherichia coli</em>, a common plant pathogenic bacterium, was determined to be 0.450 mg/mL. Antibacterial assays revealed significant inhibitory activity, with an inhibition zone measuring 22 mm in diameter. These results demonstrate that <em>Tridax procumbens</em>-derived AgNPs possess promising antibacterial properties and can serve as potential biogenic antimicrobial agents.</span></p> |
