Antimicrobial Activity and Characterization of Pomegranate Peel-Based Carbon Dots

This investigation reports the use of agrowaste pomegranate peels as an economical source for production fluorescent carbon dots (C-dots) and their potential application antimicrobial agent. The were prepared through low-temperature carbonization at 200°C 120 min. obtained C-dots found to be small in size exhibited blue luminescence 350 nm. Further, synthesized characterized with help analytical instruments such DLS, UV-visible, FT-IR, TEM, fluorescence spectrophotometer. Antimicrobial activity C-dot PP was estimated by agar diffusion method MIC. S. aureus K. pneumoniae are showing susceptibility towards when compared standard a moderate against P. aeruginosa resistance E. coli. C dot PPs around 5-9 nm confirmed from DLS analysis supported TEM. investigated understand microbial efficiency pathogens have efficiency. These results suggest that
