The bioreduction of Zinc nitrate hexahydrate using crude leaf extract of Gulmohar, by a combustion method at 400 °C was carried out to form the ZnO nanostructures. The structural, morphological and optic properties of the nanostructures were characterized by UV- Visible spectroscopy, XRD analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, and TEM. The antibacterial activity of pure wurtzite ZnO NPs was carried out by the Resazurin plate assay method followed by antifungal evaluation utilizing the food poisoning technique using bavistin as a positive control. The anticancer potential was performed using the HeLa cell line for the quantitative evaluation of MTT and apoptosis assay. Antibacterial effect o...
