Abstract Bio-synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) from silver nitrate solution using water extract of Myrmecodia pendan (Sarang Semut plant) at room condition was succesfully carried out. Visually observed on the change of the reaction solution from colorless to dark brown after the addition of M. pendan water extract indicated the formation of the Ag-NPs. The Ag-NPs obtained were characterized by UV–vis, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and TEM. The typical surface plasmon resonance of the Ag-NPs was observed and centered at around 448 nm. The structural phase of the Ag-NPs was found in the form of face centered cubic (fcc) and the particle size was estimated in the range of 10–20 nm.
