Mechanistic study of antibacterial activity of biologically synthesized silver nanocolloids

- Very stable aqueous silver nanocolloids have been synthesized using single step green biosynthetic method.
- TEM micrograph reveals that the size of the synthesized spherical silver nanoparticle is 8.9 ± 3.6 nm.
- The as-synthesize silver nanocolloids show significant antibacterial activity against several bacterial strains.
- In-vitro and in-vivo DNA damage assay show silver nanocolloids have no genotoxic effect.
