Similarly, rising antibiotic resistance emphasizes the demand for new antimicrobial drugs. In response, the present study uses Bougainvillea glabra (B. glabra) as a capping agent to synthesis sodium alginate-doped bismuth oxide (SABO) and environmentally friendly bismuth oxide (BO). SABO exhibited smaller particle size (25 nm) and higher crystallinity compared to BO (42 nm). SEM analysis revealed rock-stone-like morphology with average particle sizes of 42 nm for BO and 25 nm for SABO, indicating smaller and better-dispersed particles in SABO. UVVis DRS analysis showed a red shift in absorbance from 387 nm (BO) to 397 nm (SABO) and a band gap decrease from 2.7 eV to 2.3 eV, suggesting enhanced electronic conductivity and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus and S. pneumoniae), Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and K. pneumoniae), and fungi (C. albicans) were all tested for antibacterial activity using BO and SABO. With minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of 800 and 1000 g/mL, respectively, SABO showed more activity in the zone of inhibition than the other nanoparticles. Furthermore, the anticancer activity of BO and SABO against HT-29 colorectal cancer cells showed greater efficacy for SABO, with a lower IC50 concentration of 8.1 ?g/mL. These findings suggest that SABO could serve as a multifunctional antimicrobial and anticancer agent in the biomedical field. 2026 Elsevier B.V.
