Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extract of Bacopa Monnieri: Characterization and Assessment of its Antibacterial Activity Properties (Staphylococcus Aureus, Escherichia Coli)

This study looks into the environmentally friendly manufacture of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) with Bacopa monnieri leaf extract, as well as their use as an antibacterial agent. (UV-Vis), (XRD), (FTIR), (FESEM), (EDX) and zeta potential examination all confirmed the development of hexagonal ZnONPs with an average dimension of 31 nm. The antibacterial activity was notable against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. The effectiveness is attributed to interactions between nanoparticles and bacterial cell membranes, as well as the synergistic effects of the phytochemicals that surround the nanoparticles. The sustainable synthesis process employing Bacopa monnieri is consistent with the general trend of using plant extracts to improve the bioactivity and sustainability of nanoparticles.
