Green synthesis, CuO nanoparticles, Myrtaceae, Candida albicansAbstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were biogenically synthesized using aqueous extracts from Psidium guajava, Syzygium cumini, and Syzygium aromaticum, which are all members of the Myrtaceae family. Characterization was performed utilizing UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDS, confirming the synthesis of nanoparticles. The CuO nanoparticles exhibited significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans using the agar well diffusion method. The extract of Syzygium aromaticum-mediated nanoparticles demonstrated the highest bioactivity.
