Although carbon nanoparticles or quantum dots (C-dots) have been studied extensively for a variety of applications (e.g., photocatalysis, metal ion sensing, antibacterial, cell labeling), greener synthetic method is highly indispensable. Herein, we report facile one-step hydrothermal carbonization approach the synthesis fluorescent blue/green C-dots using oyster mushroom (Pleurotus species). First, demonstrate application these as colorimetric sensor toxic ions detection such heavy Pb2+ with...
The current research aims to evaluate the antidiabetic properties of Pleurotus pulmonarius, an edible basidiomycetes mushroom fungi in diabetic induced wistar albino rats. Mycelial Hot Water Extracts (HWE) and Acetone (AE) pulmonarius was orally administrated STZ-NA (55 mg/kilogram body weight) rats at a concentration 200 400 mg/kg for 4 weeks. outcomes revealed that HWE resulted significant (p < 0.001) reduction blood glucose level. A noteworthy serum lipid profile elevation High-Density...
Summary Hydrogen (H 2 ) is one of the most promising fuels for sustainable energy production. Microbial bio‐H fermentation considered to be environment friendly alternatives satisfying demand fossil fuels. The study has aimed isolate effective producing microbes from rice mill wastewater (RMWW) using various pre‐treatment enrichment methods. Among 27 enriched isolates, three isolates produced higher H utilizing as substrate. Molecular level identification revealed that bacterial strains were...
Porous biomaterial is the preferred implant due to interconnectivity of pores. Chances infection biofilm are also high in these biomaterials because presence Although implants contributes 80% human infections [1], there no commercially available natural therapeutics against it. In current study, glutaraldehyde cross linked lipase was transferred onto a activated porous polycaprolactam surface using Langmuir-Blodgett deposition technique, and its thermostability, slimicidal, antibacterial,...
Summary The microbial fuel cell (MFC) has gained interest among the scientific community due to feasibility of transforming organic wastes directly into electrical energy through biocatalysis or enzymatic bioelectrochemical reactions. In present study, an effective coculture system, namely, Serratia marcescens AATB1 and Klebsiella pneumoniae AATB2, was used in MFC system. isolated strains, AATB2 were identified as biofilm producing bacteria. experiments performed a two‐chambered setup with...
A cobalt(III) complex, [Co(L)]Cl (complex 1, where L = 1,8-[N,N-bis{(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl}]-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethylcyclotetradecane) with distorted octahedral geometry has been synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. The structure of the ligand remarkably rich hydrogen intermolecular interactions such as H···H, H···C/C···H, H···O/O···H that vary presence metal ion, complex 1 Cl···H interactions; this result proved by Hirshfeld...
