If the silver reducing weed extract possesses antimicrobial properties then it can additionally contribute to the medicinal activity. Herein, we present a synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using the weed plant Lantana camara's leaf extract. This study shows an easy, quick and cost-effective route to silver nanoparticle synthesis. Size controlled synthesis of Ag-0 nanoparticles is studied and discussed based on optical absorption, photoluminescence, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction measurements, FE-SEM and TEM analysis. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles via this green approach shows very high antibacterial activity against E coli (Gram -ve) and S. aureus (Gram +ve) bacteria at a very low concentration (50 ppm Ag nanoparticles). Use of such eco-friendly nanoparticles may open a door for a new range of bactericidal agents.</p>1 aSingh, Pradeep, Kumar1 aBhardwaj, Kirti1 aDubey, Parul1 aPrabhune, Asmita  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/uv-assisted-size-sampling-and-antibacterial-screening-lantana-camara-leaf-extract-0
