The Study of Antibacterial Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized using Cynodon Dactylon
Journal Title: International Journal of Bio-Technology and Research (IJBTR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanoparticles are a type of materials which are different from bulk material due to their surface to volume ratio. In this study Zinc oxide Nanoparticles are synthesized using Cynodon dactylon leaf extract and the effectiveness of biologically synthesized ZnO NP as antibacterial agent also revealed. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are quickly formulated by Biological approach because of the utilization of leaf extract components as reducing, Stabilizing and capping agents. Amalgamated Zinc oxide nanoparticles are characterized using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), UV Visible Spectrophotometer, Particle Size Analyzer. The characterization technique ensures their optical and morphological property. The Zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibit dose dependent antibacterial activity against gram positive Bacillus sp and gram negative Escherichia coli. The observed zone of inhibition is an evidence to demonstrate biologically synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles role in Nanomedicine research.
