In past few years, wide applicability of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in various field attract for an approach of rapid, cost effective and eco-friendly synthesis of AgNPs that is expanding research toward biological methods. The biosynthesised AgNPs were confirmed visually by appearance of dark brown color formation in mixture and silver surface plasmon resonance band observed at 413 nm by using UV-Visible Spectroscopy A. grandiflora may be used for the green synthesis of ultra-fine nanoparticles of silver for their antimicrobial activities.
In present study, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) synthesized by quick and eco-friendly phytogenicreduction of copper salt (copper sulphate CuSO 4 .H 2 O) solution with Pterocarpus marsupium extract. UV-VIS spectrometry indicated formation of nanoparticles via absorption spectra of copper colloidal solution at 442 nm. Phytosynthesis of CuONPs were further characterized by Transmission electron microscopy; scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that diameter of CuONPs in colloidal solution were < 40 nm. Further, antibacterial activities of CuONPs were determined against Gram negative Escherichia coli-MTCC-9721, Proteus vulgaris-MTCC-7299, Klebsiella pneumonia-MTCC-9751 and Gram positive i.e. Staphylococcus aureus-MTCC-9442, Staphylococcus. epidermidis-MTCC-2639, Bacillus cereus-MTCC-9017 bacteria by well agar diffusion and microdilution method. Notably, The CuONPs showed an effective antibacterial activity against all test microorganisms where K. pneumonia and E.coli showed maximum ZOI and MIC respectively i.e. 24 mm and 6 μg/ml.
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.
