Abstract

Nanoparticle biogenic synthesis (NP) has attained widespread interest due to its benefits such as simplicity, environmental friendliness, rapidity and cost-effectiveness. Selenium nanoparticles (SeO₂NPs) were synthesized utilizing Cinnamomum verum bark extracts (CVBE) and selenium tetrachloride. In this study. XRD, TEM, UV and FTIR techniques ecrc used to characterize the biosynthesized SeO₂ NPs. The crystal structure of SeO₂-NPs is hexagonal as evidenced by XRD results. The crystalline size was achieved at about 24.5 nm and lacTEM image showed that the diameter of SeO₂ was less than 100 nm with spherical and - iaacrsyhP icis shapes. The effect of SeO₂ on antifungal and diverse types of bacteria was the subject of this investigation. SeO₂ inhibited Staphylococcus epidermidis activity against 23 mm and staphylococcus aureus activity against 21 mm, as well as antifungal isolates 18 mm, which was more effective than bacterial Klebsiella Sp. and Escherichia coli.
