In this research article, we synthesized Alumina nanoparticles using leaf extract of Ocimum Sanctum. We have characterized synthesized nanoparticles using FESEM, DLS and EDS analysis. We have also investigated antimicrobial activity of the Alumina nanoparticles using disc diffusion method against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It is comcluded that Alumina nanoparticles are successfully synthesized using leaf extract of Ocimum Sanctum and they are spherical in shape. It is also concluded that these Alumina nanoparticles are good antimicrobial agents against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
