Aporosa cardiosperma is a plant species majorly found in the Indian Western Ghats that belongs to the phyllanthaceae family with ethnobotanical importance. Using a Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for evaluating leaf extracts of A. cardiosperma, significant functional groups and metabolite constituents were determined, and its total flavonoid, phenol, and tannin content were quantified.

Antibiotics have been constrained by the rise of antibiotic resistance caused by drug overuse. Therefore, new strategies are required to prevent appropriate antibiotic inability from antibiotic-resistant strains.

The fish were fed with RSM-free control diet (RSM0) and four experimental diets, which replaced fish meal (FM) with varying levels of RSM (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, represented as RSM25, RSM50, RSM75, and RSM100 respectively). After a 60-day feeding trial, the survival rate (SR), growth performance (length gain, weight gain, and specific growth rate), protein efficiency ratio, chemical body composition (protein, lipid, and ash), and digestive enzymes (amylase and protease) were significantly increased (P < 0.

The present study investigated the effects of Aquamin® mineral mixture (AQMM) and Agrimin® mineral mixture (AGMM) supplemented diets on growth and chemical composition of juvenile freshwater prawn Macrobrachium malcolmsonii (H. Milne-Edwards, 1844). Experimental diets containing 6 different AQMM levels (Trial 1: 0, 0.

Nanotechnology tends to be a swiftly growing field of research that actively influences and inhibits the growth of bacteria/cancer. Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) such as silver, copper, and gold have been used to damage bacterial and cancer growth over recent years; however, the toxicity of higher NPs concentrations remains a major issue. The copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) were therefore fabricated using a simple green chemistry approach.
