Abstract: Recently green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was found to have the potential to overcome the toxicity exhibited by chemical synthesis methods and their antibacterial activity attracts the attention of the research fraternity. This study is a preliminary approach to focus on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Abutilon indicum (AI-AgNPs) by biological green synthesis method and evaluation of antibacterial properties of Abutilon indicum plant extract and AI-AgNP. The aqueous plant extract of Abutilon indicum which served as a capping and reducing agent was used to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles.
