Abstract

Nanobiotechnology is the application of nanotechnology in the fields of biological sciences. It holds great potential in different fields of life sciences. Nanotechnology involves the uses of materials with components that have dimensions less than 100 nm. Nanoparticles can be synthesized through various techniques have therapeutic efficacy, targeted drug delivery, anti- microbial, anti-cancerous activity etc. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using plant waste extracts embrace certain applications of being rapid biocompatible, eco-friendly and non-toxic. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles has been suggested as a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to physical and chemical methods. This paper presents anti-microbial activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized by extract of Carica papaya peel. The nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antimicrobial impact of AgNPs produced from Carica papaya peel was examined utilizing pathogenic bacterial strains.
