Qualitative antifungal activity of of biosynthesized Bauhinia tomentosa Linn flower-powder extract-derived AgNPs against fungal strains Aspergillus flavus (left) and Candida albicans (right). The following four different components (30 μL) were applied on separate Whatman No. 1 filter paper discs 6 mm in diameter: (i) biosynthesized AgNPs, (ii) Bauhinia tomentosa Linn flower powder extract, (iii) AgNO₃ solution, and (iv) standard antifungal solution (fluconazole, 30 µg/mL), which were allowed to dry before being placed on a potato dextrose agar medium carrying the fungal strains and incubated for 48 h. The diameters of the zones were measured in centimeters.
