Abstract

In the present investigation, ZnMgAlO nanoparticles were prepared by soft chemical method.  The synthesized NPs were analyzed by XRD and SEM EDAX. ZnMgAlO crystal structure was confirmed through powder XRD technique as hexagonal wurtzite structure. The surface morphology was analyzed from SEM images. Finally, antimicrobial activity of all the synthesized samples was tested against Bacillus subtilis and Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria and Xylaria hypoxylon, Fistulina hepatica fungus. The observed results showed good anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities.
