Figure 6

(a) Selected plate images of antibacterial activity tests of ZnO-NPs prepared using 20, 30, and 40 mL PPE (from the bottom to the top: Z20, Z30, and Z40) against S. aureus (left images) and E. coli (right images). Disks: (1) ZnO-NPs 50 mg/mL per disc; (2) ZnO-NPs 100 mg/mL per disc; (3) ZnO-NPs 200 mg/mL per disc; (4) Azithromycin antibiotics (positive control); (5) distilled water (negative control). (b) Histogram illustration for the corresponding zone of inhibition data; bars represent the standard error of the mean (n = 2).
