Researchers green-synthesized copper-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles from Syzygium cumini leaf extract and found they inhibited plant bacterial and fungal pathogens more strongly than the extract alone, though less than synthetic drugs.
Zinc oxide nanoparticles biosynthesized by a Penicillium citrinum endophyte from hibiscus leaves inhibited S. aureus lipase and hyaluronidase, reduced biofilm biomass by up to 68.7 percent and killed the bacterium in laboratory assays.
