Abstract :
The investigation aims the synthesis of copper oxide nano particles using Catharanthus Roseus leaf extract at room temperature. This method is completely a green method, free from toxic and harmful solvent. The copper oxide nano particles were synthesized by mixing copper sulphate dehydrate (CuSO4.5H2O) and Catharanthus Roseus leaf extract. The bio synthesized copper oxide nano-particles were characterized by XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Further, the synthesized copper oxide nano particles were tested for antibacterial activity by stand art disc diffusion method. The nano particles were found to have antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacterial strains Escherichia coli by the observation of inhibition zones around each well.
