Abstract
Biosynthesis of PbO NPs using Plant Extract of Heterotis rotundifolia (Sm.) Jacq.-Fel. was carried out for the first time in this study. This study confirmed Heterotis rotundifolia’s capability for the biosynthesis of PbO NPs. The characteristics of the biosynthesised PbO NPs were measured by different equipment. The Bactericidal Activity Assessment of the biosynthesised PbO NPs showed their Inhibitory function against Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, possible Functional groups and effective compounds responsible in reduction of lead ions were assigned.
