In recent studies Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) had been synthesized frequently for the antibacterial, antifungal studies. Since the physical and chemical production of these nano particals, from the plants extract is economic and ecofriendly, the environment is protected from the usage of toxic chemicals. [...]the current study is the synthesis and characterization methods to ZnO nano particals using different biological sources. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra for the plant extract and plant extract zinc nanoparticles were recorded using Bruker FT-IR model-Tensor 27 at a frequency range of 400 to 4000 cm-1. b. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies: Surface morphology studies were carried out by recording the SEM photographs of zinc nanoparticles powder were recorded using Hitachi S-3000H model scanning electron microscope. c. Antimicrobioal activity of synthesized ZnO NPs: The antibacterial activity of synthesized ZnO NPs was performed in E. coli, and Streptococcus sp.
