Sesbania grandiflora also known as Agasthya has potent antibiofilm activity and its bioactive compounds obtained from the leaves are medicarpin, isoniazid and 4-methyl oxazole. Extra cellular polymeric substances (EPS) created by the bacterium involve the formation of biofilm and this causes the infections such as nosocomial infections, and urinary tract infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been linked with high levels of intracellular Cyclic-di-Guanosine Monophosphate (c-di-GMP; PA4781) in biofilm formation.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the heat transfer behavior of the electromagnetic 3D micropolar tri-hybrid nanofluid flow of a solar radiative slendering sheet with non-Fourier heat flux model. The conversion of solar radiation into thermal energy is an area of significant interest as the demand for renewable heat and power continues to grow. Due to their enhanced ability to promote heat transmission, nanofluids can significantly contribute to enhancing the efficiency of solar-thermal systems.

Phytoremediation is an excellent method for removing harmful heavy metals from the environment since it is eco-friendly, uses little energy, and is inexpensive. However, as phytoremediated plants can turn into secondary sources for heavy metals, complete heavy metal removal from phytoremediated plants is necessary. Elimination of toxic heavy metals from phytoremediated plants should be considered with foremost care.

Obesity is a global health burden due to lifestyle modifications that have a strong association with a high incidence of diseases, such as dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and cancer. The aim of the present study is to investigate the protective effects of a formulation (MUF) against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in obese rats. Male albino Wistar rats were fed a high-fat diet for 6 weeks to facilitate fat-induced oxidative stress and were simultaneously treated with MUF (400 mg/kg b.
