Abstract
The nickel zinc nanoferrites with configurationNi0.45Zn0.55–xMxFe2O4were achieved where x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 and M = Cobalt, Copper, Magnesiumusing solution-combustion method by availing sucrose as a fuel. The procured nanoferrites were investigated forstructural properties using TEM, antibacterial and antifungal propertiesby Kirby-Bauer Disk Diffusion Susceptibility Test also calledas Agar diffusion method. The synthesized nanoferrites were tested for their antibacterial activities against Gram negative (Escherichiacoli) and Gram positive (Bacillus cerus) bacterial strains. Also, investigation was evaluated for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. Against Bacillus cerus, sample Ni0.45 Zn0.45Cu0.1Fe2O4 showed maximum antibacterial activity. The maximum antifungal activity was observed for Ni0.45 Zn0.35Co0.2Fe2O4.
