Indian journal of pharmaceutical sciencesSummary: Wheatgrass extract was used for eco-friendly extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Stable silver
nanoparticles were formed by treating the wheatgrass extract with aqueous silver nitratesolution as reducing
agents. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy was used to confirm the presence of silver nanoparticles. The
X-ray diffraction analysis exhibited characteristic peaks signifying the crystalline nature of nanoparticels.
The particle size and the involvement of various biomolecules in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles were
determined using Atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The
particle structure was studied by scanning electron microscopy and the elemental silver present in reaction
mixture was confirmed by Energy dispersive x-ray. The nanoparticles were tested for their anticandidal
activity against Candida albicans MTCC3017, Candida albicans MTCC1637, Candida albicans MTCC183,
Candida tropicalis MTCC230 and Candida glabrata MTCC3814 and determined their minimum inhibitory
concentration.
