Decolorization of various dyes by microorganisms and green-synthesized nanoparticles: current and future perspective.

Various types of colored pigments have been recovered naturally from biological sources including shells, flowers, insects, and so on in the past. At present, such natural colored substances (dyes) are replaced by manmade dyes. On the other hand, due to their continuous usage in various purpose, these artificial dyes or colored substances persist in the environmental surroundings.

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of MnO Nanorods Using Fruit Extract and Its Anticancer Potency Against MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Introduction: Cancer disease is known due to its unregulated proliferation of cells that have evolved from the body's regular cells. The disease develops as a result of epigenetic and genetic modifications, tumor suppressor gene inactivation, and oncogene activation. The present work describes an environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NPs) using fruit extract (GAE) in an aqueous medium.
