Abstract:
Nanotechnology is an emerging field of research which has been useful in every field of life, such as, medical, cosmetic, environmental and industrial applications. Currently, there are many methods to prepare nanoparticles but here we have used biological method due to its availability, safety, ecofriendly and more stability when compared with physical and chemical methods which are hazardous to the environment because of their toxic chemicals and increased energy consumption. Withania coagulans is a galvanizing biological source, with all portions of the plant being employed ethnopharmacologically and medicinally due to its good pharmacological qualities. This research work elucidated the biosynthesis of Zn@Mn NCs biologically by W. coagulans and their characterization. Zn@Mn NCs was carried out by UV-visible spectrophotometry, SEM, EDX and XRD. The prepared Zn@Mn NCs were amorphous tetragonal structure with an approximate size of 8.9nm and highly crystalline in nature. The EDX of biosynthesized Zn@Mn NCs shows 27.0% and 10.8% of Zn and Mn. The antibacterial activity of Zn@Mn NCs shows 7mm zone of inhibition against the E. coli while it shows 8mm zone of inhibition against the P. aeruginosa. The photocatalytic activity was also performed against the Methylene Blue dye that showed 53.8% degradation. To conclude, our research work revealed that NCs synthesized by green method are stable, amorphous crystalline shape and active against the antibacterial and methylene blue dye. These findings indicated that in order to lower the environmental hazards and degradation while using diverse medicinal, agricultural, and clinical applications, nanoparticle production with the aid of biological resources must be done on a larger scale.
