<title><b>Characterization and evaluation of biological Activities of silver nanoparticle using <i>Wattakaka volubilis</i> linn.f.</b><br /> </title>
<abstract>The dried leaves of  lessThan i greaterThan Wattakaka volubilis lessThan /i greaterThan  was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles and evaluation of their antibacterial and antioxidant biological activities. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). The antibacterial activity of 1mM concentration of the silver nanoparticles against lessThan i greaterThan  Escherchia coli  lessThan /i greaterThan produces 18mm zone of inhibition and against  lessThan i greaterThan  Bacillus subtilis lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococuss aureus lessThan /i greaterThan  produces 17mm zone of inhibition at 50μg/ml concentration. Among the different concentration,1mM silver nanoparticles showed the highest anti-oxidant activity of 92.98% at 100μg/ml and thus being a good electron donor silver nanoparticles showed highest reducing power activity with optical density value of 0.144 at 100μg/ml.</abstract>
