Synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles and study the antifungal properties

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESA large number of diseases and infections caused by microorganisms have been reported worldwide. It is very important to control their spread and fight against them. Nanotechnology is a science which currently used in various industries such as medicine, chemistry, and biological sciences. One of the branches of this new technology is synthesis of nanoparticles by different methods.MATERIALS AND METHODSIn this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method and analyzed by XRD, EDX, SEM, FTIR, and UV-vis methods to examine the physical and chemical features of these nanomaterials. In order to examine the antimicrobial activity of these nanoparticles, Fusarium solani fungus was used by Agar well diffusion method with concentrations of ۱۲.۵ to ۱۰۰ mg.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe evaluation of the antifungal effects of nickel oxide nanoparticles showed that Fusarium solani was not sensitive to these concentrations and the zone of growth inhibition was insignificant.CONCLUSIONIt can be said that nickel oxide nanoparticles which have been synthesized by hydrothermal method indicated an insignificant antifungal effect against this standard strain.
