Abstract

In this research, iron oxide-NPs were synthesized by leek leaves extract using the green method biosynthesis. It helps as reducing and cap agents. Characteristics of nanoparticles are obtained by (UV–Visible) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The X-ray diffraction pattern showed iron oxide peaks, the mean crystalline size was 37.12nm. Electron microscope field emission scanning (FESEM) was used to investigate the morphology of iron oxide-NPs. Results of the biological tests showed how iron oxide nanoparticles affected both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as various inhibitor registrations and the influence of iron material on bacteria inhibition were demonstrated.
