PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES BY Justicia adhotoda AND Ocimum sanctum FORMULATION USING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICRSCOPY | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Biological synthesis requires the reduction of metal ion stabilisation using a number of species. Since plants have a wide range of strong reducing ability, they are an excellent source of silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps). The in vitro synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extracts such as Justicia adhatoda and Ocimum sanctum (tulsi) mixture demonstrates that biological synthesis is the most applicable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly process. The current study describes the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles in an in vitro setting using plant extracts from Justicia adhatoda and Ocimum sanctum, as well as their characterization using TEM.


The aim of this study is to use TEM to prepare and characterise silver nanoparticles made from Justicia adhotoda and Ocimum sanctum herbal formulations.

Green Synthesis was used to synthesise these nanoparticles, which included using plant extracts from Ocimum sanctum and Justicia adhatoda, followed by characterization using UV-Visible spectroscopy and TEM.

The surface resonance was estimated at 10-35 nm, which is consistent with the formation of silver nanoparticles. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by TEM images, which showed hexagonal shapes. AgNps come in a range of sizes, including spherical and triangle-shaped nanoparticles with a size of 10-60 nm. The silver nanoparticles were naturally crystalline, with a UV absorbance of about 320 nm.

Conclusion: The antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antiinflammatory effects of this formulation can be researched in the future thanks to the TEM characterisation of silver nanoparticles. This innovative formulation may provide new insight into a range of biomedical applications.
