Photocatalytic Dye Degradation and Bacteriostatic Efficacy of Myco Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles by new Isolate Lentinus squarrosulus (Mont.) from Dead Trunk of Nerium odourum

Objectives: To investigate the antibacterial activity and photo-catalytic efficacy of CuNPs synthesized from Lentinus squarrosulus used for degradation commercial textile dyes. Methods: The Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were biosynthesized using L. squarrosulus, a new fungal isolate dead trunk N. odorum. production copper mycoextract was simple environmentally friendly, yielding stable in variety shapes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDAX analysis have all been to establish that successfully formed. Findings: research findings present study show absorption spectra around 300 350 nm UV-vis followed by presence FT-IR peaks at 3680cm
