ZnO nanoparticles derived from Glycosmis pentaphylla have been utilized for antimicrobial purposes
for a long time. These nanoparticles have garnered significant interest, as the demand for
nanotechnology continues to grow due to their diverse applications. The co-precipitation method,
using varying ratios of 20 ml, 40 ml, and 60 ml of plant extract, is preferred for synthesizing ZnO
nanoparticles because of its high efficiency, low production cost, and environmental sustainability.
The synthesized nanoparticles are aimed at targeting pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria
such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and fungi like Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus.
