    Abstract

    One of the newly-emerging technology we report for the synthesis of green Iron Oxide nanoparticles using leaf extract of Cocos nucifera as a green stabilizing and reducing agents. The green process is an eco-friendly, biocompatible, easy to handle. 1mM of Ferric Chloride as a precursor mixed with the leaf extract of 25 ml. The prepared green magnetic Iron Oxide nanoparticles are characterized by UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (XEDS) and X-ray diffraction. Antibacterial efficacy of Iron Oxide nanoparticles was evaluated against gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus(G+), Bacillus cereus (G+) and gram-negative bacteria, Serratia marcescens (G-), Pseudo monas aeruginosa (G-). Green Iron Oxide nanoparticles has shown highest shown of inhibition of about 14 mm for Staph aureus gram positive bacteria.
