Abstract: Highlights: [•] Nearly spherical Ag NPs are prepared using P. amboinicus leaf extract. [•] The green synthesis route is simple, nontoxic, reliable and eco-friendly benign. [•] XRD and SAED patterns attested the crystalline nature of the samples. [•] Biomolecules of the leaf extract play dual role as both reducing and capping agents. [•] It exhibited effective antimicrobial efficacy against E. coli and Penicillium spp. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
