Biosynthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Wheatgrass Extract and Assessment of Their Anticandidal Activity

Wheatgrass extract was used for eco-friendly extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Stable nanoparticles were formed by treating the wheatgrass with aqueous nitratesolution as reducing agents.
