ABSTRACT
Zinc oxide nanoparticles play a major role in the field of nanotechnology for biomedical applications. In this present investigation, we have used Acorus calamusfor the Green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles. The synthesized particles are characterized by its morphological analyses. The spherical, square and some agglomerated nanoparticles are found was analyzed and confirmed using Transmission Electron microscope, Scanning Electron microscope and Atomic Force microscope images. The nanoparticles are 10-90 nm in size in the all microscopic results the prepared nanoparticles are analyzed for its Antimicrobial activity against gastrointestinal pathogens such as Pseudomonasspp, Escherichia coli, Salmonellasppand Vibriospp. Based on its zone of inhibition, was confirm the antibacterialpotential of the Zinc oxide nanoparticles.
