What is it about?
Manuscript explains the optimized fabrication of silver nanoparticles from fruit extract of Prunus cerasifera as a reducing agent. Nanoscale particles were characterized via different techniques and used for photocatalytic degrdation of different dyes and inhibition of pathogenic microbes.

Why is it important?
Current work has for the first time employed green nanoparticles for photocatalytic dye degradation and microbial inhibition with outstanding result.
Perspectives
From the inherently higher inhibition rates for biomimetic prunosynthetic AgNPs, it is envisioned that these can be commercialized as future "green" nanobactericide and nanofungicide at industrial scale economically from nontoxic phytoconstituents.
