Abstract
Rapid development of biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts has attracted extensive interests to further investigate this novel and eco-friendly method. This investigation discuss about the biochemical synthesis of Copper nanoparticles using Zingiber officinale and Curcuma longa. The extracellular presence of Copper nanoparticles in these rhizomes is characterized by means of UV-Visible Spectroscopy, FTIR and TEM. FTIR spectra show the presence of different functional groups such as alcohol (OH stretch, H-bonded), alkene (C=C stretching) and primary amines (NH bending) etc. TEM image shows the morphology of the particle. Further, the biosynthesized Copper Nanoparticles show strong antibacterial activity against multi drug resistant human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus.
