- Abstract
Copper bionanoparticles were successfully synthesized using leaf aqueous extract of Datura innoxia from copper sulphate. Nanoparticles were characterized with the help of UV-Vis spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. FESEM analysis showed that the particles were spherical in shape with size ranging from 5 to 15 nm. The antimicrobial activity of copper bionanoparticles revealed that they are effective growth inhibitors against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the causative organism of bacterial leaf blight of paddy.
