The present study was aimed to use the aqueous extract of

Capparis spinosa to synthesize the copper nanoparticles and also

evaluated their antibacterial activities again some pathogenic

bacterial strains. UV-vis spectroscopy analyses, fourier

transform of infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy

(SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to identify

the synthesized nanoparticles. The antimicrobial activity of

the synthesized copper nanoparticles was investigated using

disk diffusion method and broth microdilution against some

Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. After adding the

extract to the copper sulfate solution, the color of the solution

changed from light blue to yellowish green. Existence of a

maximum peak at the wavelength of 414 nm confirmed the

formation of the copper nanoparticles. FTIR spectrum analysis

showed that the factor groups created a coating extract on the

surface of the nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy

demonstrated the particle size between 17 and 41 nm. These

findings showed that Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus

as Gram-positive bacteria were most susceptible to synthesized

copper nanoparticles in comparison with the Gram-negative

bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli). The

obtained findings demonstrated that the aqueous extract of C.

spinosa acts as a reviver and stabilizer factor. The synthesized

copper nanoparticles demonstrated activity against both Grampositive

and Gram-negative bacteria.
