Abstract
The green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles using plant extracts, specifically ginger (Zingiber officinale) was studied for its affordability and eco-friendly traits. The CuO NPs were analyzed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX) and TEM. Their antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated against two bacterial strains Escherichia coli ( E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus) and two fungal species Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) and Fusarium graminearum (F.graminearum) using the disk diffusion technique. The biosynthesized CuO nanoparticles were evaluated alongside chemically synthesized CuO nanoparticles to assess how the synthesis method influences their structural, optical, morphological properties, as well as their antibacterial and antifungal efficacy. The topological characteristics including dimensions, shapes, aggregation behavior, and basic structural arrangements of green-synthesized CuO nanoparticles are critical determinants of their biological activity. Investigations serve as valuable methods for studying these properties. TEM analysis confirmed that the biosynthesized CuO nanoparticles have a spherical shape. Particle size distribution analysis showed a size range of 4 to 28 nm, with an average diameter of 16.2 nm.
