We have applied a green method for preparing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using the extract of Ficus carica Leave. These extraction of plants leaves kept in an aqueous solution and used as a reducing agent and surfactant in the reaction. The structure and size of Ag nanoparticles are studied using XRD spectrums while an optical properties studied by UV VISB spectrophotometer. The results showed that, the average grain size is in the range of 17-21nm using Debye- Scherer equation. In addition, we applied this study to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Ag NPs synthesized using Ficus carica L (FCL) extract. The obtained results are compared for both positive gram Escherichia coli (E. coli) and negative gram Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. Finally, we have compared the antimicrobial activity of Silver nanoparticles with some antibiotic.
