Plant extract from Tragia involucrata is used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate solution. The profile of synthesized silver nanoparticles was evaluated by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles and aqueous extract of plant showed zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus species of bacteria and Candida albicans fungi species.
