The development of the ecofriendly procedures makes nanoparticles as the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology. Amongst, the silver nanoparticles have become prominent in the field of medicine due to their peculiar antimicrobial properties. In the present study we suggest an ecofriendly procedure of extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles with an average size of 62-103nm using local fungal strain Aspergillus nudulans The silver nanoparticleswere characterizedwithUV-Visible spectrophotometer, FTIR andAFM analysis.
