Short Communication: Characterization and biological synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by new strain of Bacillus foraminis

Abstract. El-Ghwas DE. 2021. Short Communication: Characterization and biological synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by new strain Bacillus foraminis. Biodiversitas 23: 548-553. The production ZnO Nanoparticles (ZnONPs) has gained a lot interest because its wide antibacterial eco-friendly activity. This work was performed for the biosynthesis ZnONPs using isolated bacteria strains. A bacterial from farm soil in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, identified molecular identification 16S ribosomal RNA. sequence had highest similarity (99 %) with On other hand, appearance white precipitate at end incubation time confirms ZnONPs. Also, UV, TEM, FTIR were used to investigate stability structure absorbance measured 386 nm UV experiment. TEM result revealed that particles polydisperse usually spherical, maximum 5.40 - 6.79 range. In addition, reduction ions bacteria. is first report on B.
