Results of the MIC experiments.

Notes: Absorbance measured at λ=540 nm of the incubated (A) S. typhimurium bacteria and (B) S. aureus bacteria as a function of the content of silver in the colloids of samples L-0.5M and S-0.5M. The control data were obtained from the incubated bacteria in the absence of nanoparticles.

Abbreviations: MIC, minimal inhibitory concentration; S. typhimurium, Salmonella typhimurium; S. aureus, Staphylococcus aureus; L-0.5M, final colloid obtained using coriander leaf extract and 0.5 M AgNO₃; S-0.5M, sample obtained using extracts of coriander seeds and 0.5 M AgNO₃ solution.
