Abstract |
|
In the present study Cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) are synthesized by green technique using aqueous tuber extract of Manihot esculent (Tapioca) as a reducing, stabilizing and capping agent. The synthesized CoNPs are characterized by UV-VIS, XRD, and SEM with EDAX. Cobalt nanoparticles were confirmed by UV-Visible studies. The EDAX pattern shows the 3.96% weight percentage of Cobalt present in the synthesized sample and XRD studies shows that the particles are mostly crystalline in nature. Further these biologically synthesized nanoparticles were found to be highly toxic against different multi drug resistant bacteria pathogens. This is the first report on the synthesis of CoNPs from tuber extract of Manihot esculent was used for synthesis of CoNPs and its antimicrobial studies. |
