Phyto-fabrication, characterization, and biomedical activity of silver nanoparticles mediated from an epiphytic plant Luisia tenuifolia Blume

The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of an aqueous leaf extract of Luisia tenuifolia to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their antimicrobial and Aedes aegypti larvicidal activity. The presence of visible color changes ranging from pale yellow to dark brownish confirmed the presence of AgNPs in the reaction mixture. A sharp absorbance peak at 420 nm was found using a UV–visible spectrophotometer, confirming the presence...
