The unregulated administration of currently available antimicrobial agents resulted in overspreading resistant microbial phenotypes. In this study, Mucor racemosus was used for biosynthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) through fungi-based ecofriendly approach. biosynthesized ZnO NPs initially considered based on analytical practices including UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, their cytotoxicity anticancer activity were analyzed using suitable cell lines antioxidant effect also assessed. Microbiologically, inhibitory comparatively evaluated against various methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) methicillinsensitive (MSSA). Characterization displayed a distinct maximum absorption peak at 320 nm appeared the UV-vis. Also, TEM revealed predominantly spherical with particle size distribution ranging from 15 to 55 (mean ≃ 40 nm). normal line (Wi-38) illustrated biosafety NPs, where results showed IC50 197.2 µg/mL. Furthermore, exhibited promising suppressive Hep-G2 cancerous 51.4 Besides, 69.2 As well, minimum concentrations tested MRSA MSSA isolates ranged 32 512 bactericidal lower range, 32-1024 µg/mL, than recorded 128-1024 MSSA. crystal violet (CV) assay an eradication potential biofilm range 23.24-73.96% 6.63-74.1%, respectively. conclusion, synthesized activities demonstrated planktonic growth form clinical capability eradicate preformed biofilm. To achieve full potential, future research needs enhance synthesis process make more uniform scalable, as well investigate action mechanisms molecular level.
