Abstract
(BS) bacteria. Interestingly, all four different bacteria causing biofilm were inhibited by CP-AgNPs by 80%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from calotropis procera plant latex. Furthermore, CP-AgNPs effectively were applied as photo catalysts for the degradation of MO dye and also as anti-biofilm agents.
