The hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) poses a threat as hazardous metal and its removal from aquatic environments through biosorption has gained attention viable technology of bioremediation. We evaluated the potential use three green algae (Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha intestinalis Microspora amoena) dry biomass biosorbent to remove aqueous solutions. adsorption capacity was determined using batch experiments. appeared depend on pH. optimum pH with acid-treated for found be 2.0 at constant...

Cadmium is one of the most toxic substances found in aquatic ecosystems. This metal tends to accumulate photosynthetic plants and fish transferred humans causing many diseases. It has be removed from our environment reduce any health risks. Dry biomass microalga (cyanobacterium) Spirulina platensis was used as biosorbent for removal cadmium ions (Cd(2+)) aqueous solutions. The effects different levels pH (3-9), concentration (0.25-2 g), temperature (18-46 °C), (40-200 mg/l) contact time...

Moringa oleifera is known to possess wound healing activity. The present study evaluated the properties of methanolic extract M. leaves in excision wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or P. aeruginosa diabetic rats. An vitro was also carried out determine gene expression VEGF and TGF-β1. Preliminary phytochemical GC-MS analyses were different chemical constituents extract. applied locally as an ointment at two concentrations. Wound contraction, period...

In this investigation, we report on the biosorption of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions by nonliving biomass micro-alga (cyanobacterium) Spirulina platensis. Propagation was carried out in outside oblong raceway ponds. The cleaned, dried and used for investigation. effects pH, adsorbent dose, temperature, initial concentration (II), contact time adsorption lead dry were studied. experiments 250 ml conical flasks containing 100 test using an orbital incubator at 150 rpm. Concentrations metal...

The present study investigated the wound healing activity of Moringa oleifera leaf extract on an infected excision model in rats. Infection was induced using methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. An investigation also done to effect vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) gene expression vitro human keratinocytes (HaCaT). methanol M. leaves analyzed for presence phytochemicals by LCMS. antimicrobial determined....

Chlorogenic acid is known to have antibacterial action against a number of pathogens.This study provides insights into the potentiality chlorogenic in treatment chronic infection wounds.The antiinfective and healing effect infected wounds was evaluated using diabetic rats.Antibacterial activity Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa vitro.A decrease epithelization period (p<0.001) reduction bacterial load were observed treated...

Abstract: Aim: To determine the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of Cymbopogon flexuosus (Lemongrass oil) against C. parapsilosis tropicalis. Materials Methods: Lemongrass oil, was analyzed by GC-MS. Antifungal activities, minimum inhibitory concentration, fungicidal concentration tropicalis were determined. The effect LGO inhibiting biofilm formation these Candida species on different surfaces evaluated. Cytotoxicity human keratinocytes (HaCaT) cells evaluated under in-vitro conditions....

Background: This investigation compared genetic similarities and diversities within among Cladosporium species populations using the two PCR-based markers; Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS)-PCR microsatellite-PCR.Methodology: Nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers have been used to analyze intraspecific interspecific relationships in various fungi.In present study, spacer microsatellite-PCR were identify species.Results: The (ITS) was amplified polymerase chain reaction combining...

The investigation of novel phytochemicals for the prevention and treatment infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens is gaining attention. current study evaluated in-vitro antimicrobial activity kaempferol against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its in-vivo efficacy in inhibiting these was determined using an excision wound model nicotinamide-streptozocin- -induced diabetic rats. Kaempferol displayed inhibitory effect tested bacteria both...

Candida albicans is a highly adaptable dimorphic fungal pathogen capable of developing tolerance and resistance to antifungal agents. The treatment candidiasis becomes more difficult due the development biofilms their morphological variations. Lemongrass oil has been reported for various biological properties normally used in medical applications. In present study, Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemongrass) was analyzed phytochemicals, studied its antifungal, anti-biofilm on C. albicans, cytotoxic...

Nusantara Bioscience 9: 392-395. Medicinal from Arabia has been for treatment many diseases. The present research is on plants, which are locally available such as Acacia ehrenbergiana (Arabic: Salam) (Fabaceae), Calotropis procera Ausher) (Apocynaceae), Haloxylon salicornicum Rimth) (Amaranthaceae),...

ABSTRACT: Saudi Bank notes in different values were critically evaluated to show the level of contamination with pathogenic bacteria and fungi using standard techniques. The fungal genera Trichophyton sp., Microsporum Epidermophyton Aspergillus Alternaria Penicillium Candida Phycomyces Saccharomyces sp. Cladosporium isolated identified. that Escherichia coli, Citrobacter Klebsiella Proteus Streptococcus Bacillus Corynebacterium Staphylococcus potential currency act as environmental vehicles...

Acne vulgaris is a skin infection widely seen in adolescents between 10-19 years with males affected more than females. It mainly affects the face but may also affect back and chest. The symptoms vary mild acne manifesting as comedones moderate inflammatory lesions (papulopustular), nodules, scarring while severe has same that have not subsided within 6 months of treatment. Various treatments including topical medications containing different antibiotics are used to treat acne. Recently,...

The aim of the present study was to apply natural drops truffle (Terfezia claveryi) patients diagnosed with trachoma for curing disease and inhibiting chlamydial bacteria explore potential development new treatment modalities compared currently used antibiotics.Results showed that juice very effective against in third phase disease.There clear reduction symptoms cortisone compounds form plus drops.There were also complete healing conjunctiva keratitis.Partial observed when cream...

Vibriosis is a common bacterial infection in shrimp that causes mortality hatcheries and farms. Various steps have been initiated to increase the resistance against pathogens decrease rate through improved culture conditions feed. Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina), blue-green alga, good source of protein other nutrients helps improve digestion.
