We report on antibacterial activities of Zinc oxide (ZnO) with different structures. Fast furrier transform infrared spectroscopy ZnO nanostructures showed peaks in the range between 450–600 cm-1 indicating the successful growth through the presence of Zn-O stretching. On the other hand, impurities such as zinc complexes might be present due to the appearance of peaks at 1110 cm-1, 1390 cm-1 and 1506 cm-1. Furthermore, SEM images revealed that nanorods and sea-urchin like nanostructures are present in the produced ZnO nanostructures. Nanorods exhibit a better antibacterial response than the sea-urchin like structure. The change in structural morphology along with its purity has greatly influenced the area of bacterial inhibition zone during antibacterial testing.

Bamboo rod is a well known raw material utilized to make houses, papers, handicrafts, chopsticks and medicines. On the other hand, the utilzation of leaves, which are often considered as garbages, receive less attentions. Even though, bamboo leaves are good sources of SiO2 or silica. This work reports the preparation of zinc oxide (ZnO) supported onto biogenic silica (SiO2) from leaves of Gigantochloa atroviolacea, characterization and the antibacterial activities of ZnO@SiO2 against Staphylococcus epidermidis. The ZnO was supported onto biogenic SiO2 by using impregnation method of SiO2 in zinc salt [Zn(NO3)2·6H2O] solution. A combination XRD and SEM-EDX techniques were used to confirm the formation of ZnO on ZnO@SiO2. Investigations indicate that the as prepared ZnO@SiO2 revealed significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterial strain.
