Master’s Thesis at the University of Basrah Investigates the Biosynthesis and Characterization of Copper Nanoparticles
A master’s thesis at the College of Pharmacy, University of Basrah, explored the biosynthesis and characterization of copper nanoparticles as a potential strategy against antibiotic resistance.
The thesis, submitted by graduate student Batool Mohsen Ubaid, aimed to develop copper nanoparticles through an eco-friendly and cost-effective method and to evaluate their efficacy against resistant bacterial strains.
The study involved utilizing microorganisms such as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Rhodotorula diobovata for the biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles from copper sulfate. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using various analytical techniques. Their antimicrobial activity was then assessed against three pathogenic microorganisms, in addition to testing their hemolytic activity.
