Deep learning-based classification of microalgae using light and scanning electron microscopy images.

Microalgae possess diverse applications, such as food production, animal feed, cosmetics, plastics manufacturing, and renewable energy sources. However, uncontrolled proliferation, known as algal bloom, can detrimentally impact ecosystems. Therefore, the accurate detection, monitoring, identification, and tracking of algae are imperative, albeit demanding considerable time, effort, and expertise, as well as financial resources.

Apoptotic, cytotoxic, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from nettle leaf.

Here, we reported the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Urtica dioica (nettle) leaf extract as green reducing and capping agents and investigate their anticancer and antibacterial, activity. The Nettle-mediated biosynthesized AgNPs was characterized by UV-Vis a spectrophotometer. Their size, shape and elemental analysis were determined with the using of SEM and TEM.

effect of farnesol on planktonic cells and dual biofilm formed by and .

Many biofilm studies have focused on axial biofilms, however biofilms in nature and environment are multi-species. Farnesol is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in many essential oils. This study investigated the effects of farnesol on planktonic cells and biofilms of and .

The investigation of in vitro effects of farnesol at different cancer cell lines.

Farnesol (trans, trans-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene-1-ol) is an essential oil component that can be found in a variety of plants. In this study, in vitro effects of farnesol on human lung cancer A549 cell line, colon adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cell line and healthy human lung epithelial BEAS-2B cell lines, WST-1 cytotoxicity test, dual staining of cell survival (DAPI-PI) analysis, micronucleus test, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Farnesol acted in a concentration-dependent manner at the dose ranges studied for cancer cell lines, and while at certain doses it reduced proliferation, interestingly at higher concentrations it induced growth more than the control.

Synthesis of intracellular and extracellular gold nanoparticles with a green machine and its antifungal activity.

Green synthesis method is being increasingly used in the development of safe, stable, and eco-friendly nanostructures with biological resources. In this study, extracellular and intracellular synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was carried out using green algae Shihira & R.W.
