Metal nanoparticles have been intensively studied within the past decade. Nanosized materials have been an important subject in basic and applied sciences. Zinc oxide   nanoparticles   have   received   considerable   attention   due to their   unique antibacterial,   antifungal, and   UV filtering properties, high catalytic and photochemical activity. The objective of this work is to synthesize Zinc oxide nanoparticles using chemical method and characterize zinc oxide nanoparticles using scanning electron  microscope and   X-ray diffractometer. Further its antimicrobial activity against   Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli  is studied.

Keywords : Nanoparticles, Zinc oxide, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli.
