Abstract:
This study, it was aimed to examine the change in the antimicrobial effect of sea anemone Parazoanthus axinellae extract by forming its nanoflowers. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were expended to observe the morphologies of the Cu NFs that had been produced. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were expended to analyze the managing assemblies in P. axinellae extract, which perform an effective part in the synthesis routine, as well as the crystal assembly of NFs. P. axinellae extract mediated the HNFs (Hybrid nanoflowers) are at high, pure crystalline nature, flower shape with a crystallographic system at the nanoscale with mean crystallite size 21.9 nm using XRD, and average particle size ~10 nm by SEM. The broad absorption band at 2981-2915 cm-1 in the FT-IR spectra of anemone extract and Cu-anemone NFs represents the unique peak of hydroxy groups. In addition, Cu NFs were tested for their antibacterial properties. Cu NFs have been discovered to exhibit antibacterial properties. It is suggested that P. axinellae extract and various inorganic components be used to synthesize a variety of NFs and assess their suitability for usage in biomedical fields.
