Biosynthesis of Ag@SeO 2 NC using turmeric extract with promising antibacterial and antioxidant properties, optimized AI, confirmed by various techniques.
Ginger and garlic plants were used for the preparation of water ethanolic extracts. The silver, copper, iron zinc nanoparticles eco-friendly synthesized using ginger extracts their antioxidant antibacterial activities evaluated. growth was complemented with characterization TEM UV–Vis spectroscopic analysis. Transmission electron microscopy revealed presence mono-dispersed metals silver have smallest particle size around 10.10–18.33 nm. investigated samples evaluated as agents against...
Volatile components in the extracts of basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with electron ionization (EI) mode. The major volatile under investigation are α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, d-limonene, eucalyptol, l-linalool and estragole. Electron mass spectra these compounds have been obtained investigated. Furthermore, semi-empirical MNDO [Modified Neglect Diatomic Overlap] method was used to calculate thermochemical data for...
Abstract Chromium is one of the heavy metal pollutants that causing risky health issues when discharged into aquatic ecosystems. The current investigation focused on bioremoval Cr 6+ depending bacterial sorption process by using Pseudomonas sp. NEWG-2 which was identified basis morphological, cultural characteristics, 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis as alcaliphila strain NEWG-2. It clear from FCCD experiments bacterium can grow normally remove 96.60% 200 mg/l yeast extract (5.6...
The current work aimed to synthesize selenium and zinc nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Ephedra aphylla as a valuable medicinal plant. prepared were characterized by TEM, zeta potential, changes in phytochemical constituents. Hence, phenolic, flavonoid, tannin contents reduced case samples than original values extract. its showed high potency antioxidant agents result DPPH• assay. assessed anticancer against six tumor cells normal lung fibroblast (WI-38) cell line. revealed very...
The present study was carried out to evaluate the role of Nigella sativa Linn (NsL) oil against subacute tramadol-induced hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity as well oxidative stress in adult male albino rats. Sixty rats were divided into four groups. Group I: control group; 30 equally subdivided into: Ia; -ve group, Ib; +ve group received saline, Ic; corn oil. II: 10 NsL oil; 1 mg/kg ml oil/day, III: tramadol; mg/kg/day, IV: tramadol + previous doses. Treatments given by gavage for days. Then...
Abstract Heavy metals, including chromium, are associated with developed industrialization and technological processes, causing imbalanced ecosystems severe health concerns. The current study is of supreme priority because there no previous work that dealt the modeling optimization biosorption process by immobilized cells. significant parameters (immobilized bacterial cells, contact time, initial Cr 6+ concentrations), affecting Pseudomonas alcaliphila , was verified, using Plackett–Burman...
Background Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were synthesized using a green method with Pediastrum boryanum extract as the reducing and capping agent. Objectives The algal SeNPs characterized for their morphological characters biological efficacy. Methods Characterization was conducted UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), zeta potential analysis. Results TEM revealed spherical tetragonal sizes ranging from 72.16-89.45 nm....
et al. [13].Grape-vine leaves possesses a resistance towards several fungus diseases as Plasmopara viticola, Oidium tukeri and Botrytis cinerea which cause downy mildew, powdery mildew fruit rot, respectively [14].Flavonoids including quercetin quercetin-3-O-[β-xylosyl-(1-2)-α-rhamnoside] 4'-O-α-rhamnoside bioactive compounds were secluded from Zizyphus spina-christi [15].Also, various gallic acid derivatives isolated the of Punica granatum such 1,2,3-tri-O-galloyl-β-glucopyranose,...
Heavy metals are environmental pollutants affect the integrity and distribution of living organisms in ecosystem also humans across food chain. The study targeted removal copper (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions, depending on biosorption process. bacterial candidate was identified using 16S rRNA sequencing phylogenetic analysis, addition to morphological cultural properties as Azotobacter nigricans NEWG-1. Box-Behnken design applied optimize by NEWG-1 possible interactive effects between...
Abstract Remazol brilliant blue (RBB) is an anthraquinone anionic dye that has several commercial uses, especially in the textile industries and well-known for its detrimental impacts on marine life surrounding ecosystem. Mercury (Hg 2+ ) also one of most severe hazardous environmental contaminants due to bioaccumulation through food chain high toxicity human embryo fetus. The biosorption potential Gelidium corneum biomass bioremoval Hg RBB simultaneously from binary mixture was assessed....
The definitive screening design (DSD) and artificial neural network (ANN) were conducted for modeling the biosorption of Co(II) by Pseudomonas alcaliphila NEWG-2. Factors such as peptone, incubation time, pH, glycerol, glucose, K2HPO4, initial cobalt had a significant effect on process. MgSO4 was only insignificant factor. DSD model invalid could not forecast prediction removal, owing to lack-of-fit (P < 0.0001). Decisively, ability ANN accurate with prominent response training (R2 = 0.9779)...
Abstract This study was divided into two parts. The first part, the determination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prevalence in 25 broiler chicken farms, with detection multidrug resistant MRSA strains. 31.8% (159 out 500 samples) at level birds and it 27% (27 100) environmental samples. highest antimicrobial resistance recovered strains recorded to streptomycin (96%). All isolates (100%) had (MDR) four or more antibiotics 16 distinct antibiotic patterns, multiple index...
