Recently, with the increase in diseases caused by bacterial and viral infections, the need for antibacterial agents has widely increased. On the other hand, with the development of drug resistance to organic groups of antibiotics, new antibiotics have attracted the attention of researchers because new methods are needed to reduce the activity of bacteria. Nanotechnology […]
ZnO- nanoparticles with an average particle size of 24 nm were successfully synthesized using the microwave assisted sol- gel technique. Structural and morphological properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy disperse spectrum (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The band gap energy was measured […]
The infection of Aspergillus flavus and its aflatoxin production pose a severe threat to humans, animals as well as plants life. Their inhibition using green techniques are considered as one of the important challenges. The present study outlines the antifungal activity of the ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized from lemongrass leaf extract and their effect on […]
