Green Synthesis of Cuo Nanoparticles Using Gloriosa Superba L. Extract by Phytochemical Analysis and Antimicrobial Applications

The growing need for sustainable nanomaterials has sparked interest in the green production of nanoparticles, especially copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, because of their encouraging antibacterial qualities and environmental friendliness. A plant recognized for its high phytochemical profile, Gloriosa superba L., was used to produce CuO nanoparticles by green synthesis utilizing water-based extracts. UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to analyze the produced CuO nanoparticles. Three harmful bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S.Pneumonia, P.Vulgaris,, S.Dysenteriae against which the nanoparticles' antibacterial ability was measured. The findings show that the CuO nanoparticles showed very strong antibacterial action against S. aureus, hence stressing its possible use as an eco-friendly substitute for synthetic antimicrobial chemicals.
