Abstract	Due to easy availability, non toxic and devoid of use of hazardous chemical substances in green approach in the present study, synthesis and characterization and the antimicrobial efficacy of environment friendly Iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) using Mulberry leaf extract is investigated. Characterization of synthesized Iron nanoparticles is done using UV spectroscopy, XRD, DLS and TEM. The color shift from colorless to colored after mixing plant leaves extract to aqueous solution of Ferric chloride indicates capping, reducing, and stabilizing nature of leaf extract. Transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed that Iron nanoparticles were spherical in shape having range 8 ±1.4 nm. Antimicrobial efficiency of synthesized Iron nanoparticles was tested against Salmonella typhi, Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial strains employing well diffusion method.
