Abstract : Nanoparticles made from zinc oxide (ZnO) are finding their way into various consumer and commercial goods. Green production of ZnO nanoparticles from Terminalia, also manually extracted from leaves, is reported here. X-ray diffraction, a scanning electron microscope, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy are used to determine the shape and size of the ZnO nanoparticles generated in this study. The size of the nanoparticles was measured to be between 23 and 216 nm. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized, and their antibacterial qualities were tested using the healthy diffusion technique against gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and gram-positive Balantidium. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticle against Balantidium coli and Escherichia coli has been shown. The zone of protection against E-coil gram-negative bacteria expands when treated with ZnO nanoparticles. The current research verifies the green manufacturing of ZnO nanoparticles utilizing extract from Terminalia Mantaly Leaves.
