Purpose: To synthesize the copper nanoparticles Cu-Nps ,and to find the anti microbial activity of the plant “Hemigraphis colorata”.
Aim & objective: The aim of this research work was to synthesize g-Cu NPs mediated by Hemigraphis colorata medicinal plant leaf extract. The integration of bioactive compounds of this medicinal plant with Cu NPs is believed to be extremely beneficial for varieties of ailments. The biogenically synthesized g-Cu NPs were characterized using UV-visible,FT-IR,XRD,SEM,TEM and EDAX techniques. The antimicrobial properties of g-Cu NPs have also been evaluated against gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria.
Methodology: Hemigraphis colorata (or) murikooti is a postrate herb with rooting branches, deep reddish leaves and white flowers. It belongs to the family Acanthanceae. Th.. View more»
