Abstract

Membranes of older water filters, contain plethora of  bacteria, which are difficult to be limited as they are  known to form bacterial biofilms. In this regard, plant  based nanoparticles, are reported to be effective, as  antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. In the present  study, leaf extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus was used  to synthesize silver nanoparticles and its efficacy as  antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent was studied.  Biofilm inhibition assay using the extract was found to  be8 2% and the Minimum Inhibitory concentration  (MIC) value was found to be 62.5µgm, against the bacterial samples collected from the membrane filters. This study clearly suggests that leaf extract of  Artocarpus heterophyllus when processed as silver  nanoparticles, can be more efficient as antimicrobial  and antibiofilm agents. This study clearly illustrates  the antibacterial and antibiofilm properties of  Artocarpus heterophyllus and may therefore be  suggested as an ecofriendly and cost effective cleansing agent for the water filters.
