The present study is focused on the structural and antibacterial studies of rice straw based ZnO nanocomposite. For comparison, counterparts were also synthesized. Nanoparticles of ZnO were synthesized through combustion method and co-precipitation method. Structural characterizations of all the synthesized samples were carried out using XRD. Antibacterial studies of the synthesized samples were carried out. The present study investigates the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized samples as antibacterial agents. The selected microbes for the present study are gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), the gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli (E. coli)..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
