| Summary: | Purpose: The goal of biomedical researchers is to overcome harmful bacteria' resistance to antibiotics by developing new active chemicals quickly, cheaply, easily, and environmentally.
Materials and Methods: In this instance, iron nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) were created using a green method by mixing an equal volume of Zingiber officinale aqueous extract with a 100 ml solution of ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2.4H2O (0.4 M)). The distinctive dark brown color shift of the mixture indicated the production of Fe-NPs.
Results: This suggests that the nanocomposite was created and the reaction occurred. FT-IR, TEM, and UV-Vis spectroscopy were utilized to analyze phytosynthesized Fe-NPs. Overall, the phytosynthesized Fe-NPs show activities that enable their use in various biomedical and biotechnological applications. Additionally, the antimicrobial effect was investigated against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli).
Conclusion: The antibacterial activity of E. coli was determined, and the highest zone of inhibition was observed at the concentration of 100 μg/mL.
