Abstract

In the current study, iron oxide nanoparticles (IO NPs) were synthesized via modified green synthesistechnique using F. carica fig extract as reducing agent. Furthermore, the microstructural propertiesof the synthesized IO NPs have been thoroughly elucidated. In details, the acquired NPs diameter wasfound to be in the range of 11-29 nm and of root mean square (RMS) of 0.64 nm using TEM and AFMtechniques, respectively. Consequently, the antifungal and antibacterial activities of the synthesized IO NPswere screened against Candida and Aspergillus species as well as Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureusand Gram-negative Acinetobacter species, respectively. The presented IO NPs play an active role in theantimicrobial activities evidencing the well-organized materials system for biomedical applications.
