Abstract EN
There is growing interest in the development of novel nanomaterials with potential antimicrobial activity and lesser toxicity.
In the current research work, Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a novel coprecipitation cum laser ablation technique yielding fine spinal structured material.
The synthesized nanomaterial was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction technique which confirmed the formation and the crystalline nature of Mn0.50Zn0.50Fe2O4 nanomaterial.
The crystallite size determined by Debye-Scherrer’s formula was found to be ~12 nm.
The formation of nanoparticles was evidenced by scanning electron microscopy.
Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) was performed for elemental analysis.
The synthesized nanomaterial was interestingly found to be an effective antimicrobial agent and inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation.
The 5 µg of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanomaterial dissolved in 1 mL of DMSO showed excellent biofilm inhibitory activity 91.23% ± 1.87 against Bacillus subtilis.
