Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from aqueous extracts of sweet lime fruit and callus tissues possess variable antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials

Different plant extracts have been utilized for biological synthesis of metal nanoparticles. However, no published literature compares the antimicrobial potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from extracts of mature fruit juice (SLF-AgNPs) versus callus (SLC-AgNPs) tissue of same plant. These SLF- and SLC-AgNPs exhibited variable physical and biological properties. Distinct UV-Vis absorption peak (at 250 nm) for SLF-AgNPs indicated...
