The herbal plant Murraya koengii is currently used in medicinal
practices for treating various diseases. The present study was carried out
to synthesize silver nanoparticles from the leaves of Murraya koengii and
its antifungal activity was determined against four micro organisms. From
this present study, it was found that the silver nanoparticle which was
synthesized from plant extract shows highest activity against Trichoderma and Rhizopus and mild activity against Aspergillius niger and Aspergillus
flavus. The highest zone of inhibition was observed in Trichoderma. But the
silver nanaoparticle was more active against Rhizopus than the standard
antibiotic Amphotericin and plant extract.
