Abstract :
It is seen that metal nanoparticles are used in many areas due to their antimicrobialeffects. For this reason, our study focused on the production of a-Fe2O3, NiOand CoO NPs of golden nanoparticles, which are easily obtained with the use ofErzincan grape extract, safe to use, environmentally friendly and cost-effective.Metal ions synthesized by the green synthesis method were characterized usingthe Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. From the SEM diagrams ofthe synthesized nanoparticles, it was determined that the nanoparticles wereapproximately 5 to 65 nm in size. Both antimicrobial, genotoxicity and cytotoxicityeffects were investigated to determine the rates at which nanoparticles canbe used as biosafe. Synthesized a-Fe2O3, NiO and CoO NPs showed excellentantibacterial properties on pathogen bacteria against human. In addition, it wasdetermined that a-Fe2O3, NiO and CoO M-NPs showed genotoxic properties inparallel with increasing concentrations. This study, as far as we know, is the firstreport on microbial a-Fe2O3, NiO and CoO NPs and their biological propertiessynthesized by this statistical approach.
