Biological Synthesis and Characterization of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Using Antigonon Leptopus Leaf Extract and Their Antibacterial Activity

Abstract: The field of nanotechnology is one of the most active research areas in modern material science. Nanoparticles exhibit new and improved properties based on specific characteristics such as size, distribution and morphology. Nanoparticles, because of their small size, have distinct properties compared to the bulk form of the same material, thus offering many new developments in the fields of biosensors, biomedicine and bionanotechnology. Nanotechnology is also being utilized in medicine for diagnosis, therapeut… Show more

“…The copper nanoparticles formation is usually con rmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy studies of colored solution [18]. The concept of obtaining the peak in the UV-Vis spectrum is that, on the surface of metal nanoparticles the free electrons will be present which undergoes strong repulsion with the light of speci c wavelength [19].…”

“…An antibacterial assay using a well-cut method was used to determine the MIC of biosynthesized and chemically synthesized CuO NPs against two test pathogens- Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ). 88 The algal biosynthesized CuO NPs were denoted as CuO-1, CuO-2, and CuO-3 and chemically synthesized CuO NPs were denoted as CuO-4. The MIC values for both test pathogens, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa at various CuO NPs concentrations were shown in Tables 9 and 10 , respectively.…”

“…Standard deviation (S.D): 0.153 Cut-Off: 0.567 ‫٭‬moderate biofilm producer ‫٭٭‬strong biofilm producer Accordingly, isolates were classified as follows: O.D < 0.12 = no biofilm producer or weak biofilm producer, 0.12 < O.D ≤ 0.24 = moderate biofilm producer and 0.24 < O.D = strong biofilm producer (Magesh et al, 2013) [27]. The effect of nanometals on inhibition of the biofilm formation is due to released that metal ions subsequently may bind with DNA molecules and lead to disordering of the helical structure by cross-linking within and between the nucleic acid strands and also disrupt the biochemical processes and protein denaturation and cause cell death [28,29]. Another proposed mechanism is, there will be metal ions released from the nanoparticles that may attach to the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and rupture it, thereby leading to protein denaturation and cause cell death [28].…”
