  Comparison of Characteristics and Antimicrobial Activity of Synthesized Zinc Oxide And Magnetite Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Using Four Different Plant Extracts

  Aytar, Mehmet; Aydogdu, Burcu; Unal, Ilkay

  The aim of this study was to synthesize Zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnetite ıron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles utilizing a precipitation method, employing plant extracts from Ocimum basilica(1), Cinnamomum zeylanicum(2), Lactarius salmonicolor(3) and Paeonia kesrouanensis(4) as reduction and stabilizing agents. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of these nanoparticles against both gram-positive (S. aureus, ATCC 25923) and gram-negative (E. coli, ATCC 25922; P. aeroginosa, PAO1), bacteria as well as fungus (C. albicans 90028) was evaluated. The nanoparticles (NPs) were characterised by various analyses, including TEM, SEM, XRD, FTIR, DSL, and zeta potential. Based on the TEM image, the ZnONPs exhibited a cluster of flower-like structures, whereas the Fe3O4NPs displayed a spherical shape with a varying size distribution. The zeta potential values for ZnO NPs ranged from -5.35 to -16.9, while for Fe3O4NPs ranged from -7.43 to -20.7. All ZnO nanoparticles exhibited antimicrobial activity exclusively against the S. aureus strain, whereas Fe3O4NPs did not demonstrate any antibacterial effect.

  Plant extract-based biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle and silver–zinc nanocomposites-doped hydroxyapatite and its antimicrobial activity

  Unal, Ilkay; Aydoğdu, Burcu; Aytar, Mehmet

  Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an essential material in the biomedical field because of its chemical composition, similar to the apatites found in bones. The lack of bactericidal properties of HAp-based materials cannot prevent the adhesion and growth of bacteria. However, it can develop composite biomaterials using nanoparticles (NPs) such as silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn), which exhibit biocidal behaviours to control resistant microorganisms. This study aimed to prepareHAp–AgNPs and HAp–Ag@ZnNPs nanocomposite and evaluate their antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. HAp powders were produced from sheep bone. An aqueous extract of Marrubium astracanicum was used as a reducing and stabilising agent for the synthesis of NPs. The composites were characterized by XRD, SEM–EDX, SEM and FTIR. In vitro biocompatibility assessment was determined by agar well diffusion tests. The HAp–Ag@ZnNPs nanocomposites showed stronger antimicrobial activity than HAp–AgNPs against bacteria and fungi, while pure HAp did not show any effect.
