| Abstract Scope |
Plant mediated Green Chemistry approach to metal nanoparticles synthesis have been studied for their antibacterial potentials. This study explored the synthesis and antibacterial properties of calcium oxide nanoparticles (CaONPs) derived from Mango (Mangifera indica) leaves extract. Characterization via microscopic and spectroscopic techniques revealed some interesting physicochemical insights of CaONPs. Dynamic light scattering unveiled a nanoscale size measuring 61.47 nm and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.407, indicating some degree of uniformity. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identified organic compounds' involvement and Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed calcium and oxygen integration. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) revealed the surface structure of the CaONPs with some agglomerations. Antibacterial assays against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition zones, with minimum inhibitory concentrations at 0.6 mg/ml and 0.3 mg/ml, respectively. Comparative analysis with Ciprofloxacin as a control underscored efficacy. This study seamlessly integrated CaONPs synthesis and characterization, revealing promising antibacterial applications. |
