EICHHORNIA MEDIATED COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES: IN VITRO ANALYSIS OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective: The present investigation determines the biological synthesis and characterization of Copper oxide nanoparticles from aqueous extract of Eichhornia crassipes and assessing its effects on antimicrobial activity against the pathogens.Methods: In this method Eichhornia mediated copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, FESEM and EDX and also antimicrobial activity was determined using the well diffusion method.Results: The antimicrobial activity of Eichhornia mediated copper oxide nanoparticles was tested against selective pathogens and maximum zone of inhibition was observed in S. aureus and A. flavus at 100 µg/ml concentration.Conclusion: The green synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles have antimicrobial activity against selective microorganisms and it can be effectively used as a good antimicrobial agent.Â
