The aim of this study was to provide information about the biological properties of iron oxide nanoparticles (IO-NPs) obtained in an aqueous suspension. The IO-NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Analysis of hysteresis loops data at room temperature for magnetic IO-NPs sample indicated that the IO-NPs were superparamagnetic at room temperature. The calculated saturation magnetization for magnetic iron oxide wasMs= 18.1 emu/g. The antimicrobial activity of the obtained PMC-NPs was tested against Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa1397,Escherichia coliATCC 25922), Gram-positive (Enterococcus faecalisATCC 29212,Bacillus subtilisIC 12488) bacterial as well as fungal (Candida krusei963) strains. The obtained results suggested that the antimicrobial activity of IO-NPs is dependent on the metallic ions concentrations and on the microbial growth state, either planktonic or adherent. The obtained IO-NPs exhibited no cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells at the active antimicrobial concentrations.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesis by reverse micelle method. X-ray diffraction technique and vibration sample magnetometer were applied to characterize the produced samples at different conditions and parameters for synthesis route. There is no significant difference between samples prepared at 5°C and room temperature except a better crystalline at room temperature. The molar ratio of water to surfactant (w parameter) and concentration of the salt solution on size and magnetic properties of nanoparticles have been investigated. Increasing w leads to producing particles with larger size i.e. for w=16.83, 11.22, and 5.6, particles size are 15.22, 11.66 and 10.5 nm, respectively. The size of nanoparticles are in the range of 9 to 20 nanometers
