Abstract

This study was done to prove the environmental application of copper nanoparticles, particularly theantimicrobial activity against bacterial pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The root extract ofAsparagus racemosus was used to synthesize copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) via biosynthesis. Cu-NPs were characterizedusing a UV-Visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electronmicroscopy. The antibacterial activity of Cu-NPs was studied by treating nanoparticles with two bacterial pathogens,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The biosynthesized copper nanoparticles displayed satisfactoryantibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens. Antioxidant and antidiabetic assays were performed via the enzymeinhibition property. The biosynthesized Cu-NPs exhibited a satisfactory antifouling function to eradicate algae growth.
