Spondias pinnata mediated silver nanoparticles with antibiofilm and catalytic potential.

ABSTRACT: In the quest for advancing bio-conjugated metal nanoparticle synthesis as a promising avenue in biochemistry, this study emphasizes the optimized fabrication of silver nanoparticles mediated by Spondias pinnata. The synthesized silver nanoparticles (SP-AgNPs) exhibited remarkable colloidal stability for 6-7 months at ambient temperature (25 ± 4 °C) supported by a highly negative zeta potential of -37 mV. Characterization via HR-TEM, XRD, XPS, ICP-OES, and DLS studies confirmed the spherical morphology of the SP-AgNPs, with an average diameter of 32 ± 5 nm and a face-centered cubic (fcc) arrangement of particles. The SP-AgNPs demonstrated significant antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) MTCC 118 strain and catalytic dye degradation activity against methy
