Antibacterial efficacy of green synthesized α-FeO nanoparticles using plant extract.

The aim of the work is to synthesize iron oxide (α-FeO) nanoparticles using plant extract along with evaluation of its antibacterial activity. The presence of phytochemicals in methanolic plant extract was investigated by HPTLC and LC-MS/TOF. The probable mechanism for formation of α-FeO nanoparticles in mediation with plant extract was demonstrated.
