Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted a lot of attention due to economic and environmental benefits compared to common chemical synthesis methods. The aqueous extract of brown macroalgae Sargassum ilicifolium was used for the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Biosynthesized nanoparticles were identified by color change, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, TEM, SEM and XRD. The results showed that the formed nanoparticles were spherical and crystalline with a size range between 15.1 to 27nm. Antibacterial activity of biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles was investigated by MIC and MBC method against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria and the results showed that biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles had a significant antibacterial effect against the tested bacteria. Finally, this study shows that the green synthesis of zinc nanoparticles from marine macroalgae can be an effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly method to produce zinc oxide nanoparticles with antibacterial properties.
