The emergence of antibiotic-resistant necessitates the discovery of novel therapeutic agents. This study investigated the antimicrobial potential of green-synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) fabricated using extract. Characterization using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of functional groups such as ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids in the capping agents, suggesting their role in AuNP stabilization.

The production of green hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuels. The current study focuses on the design of microalgae as a catalyst in bioelectrochemical systems for the generation of biohydrogen. Furthermore, the abovementioned target could be achieved by optimizing different parameters, including strains of microalgae, different optical filters, and their shapes.

This study examined the ability of the green microalgae to remove arsenic from aqueous solutions. A series of studies was conducted to determine the optimal conditions for biological arsenic elimination, including biomass amount, incubation time, initial arsenic level, and pH values. At 76 min, pH 6, 50 mgL metal concentration, and 1 gL bio-adsorbent dosage, the maximum removal of arsenic from an aqueous solution was 93%.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated how effective dried microalgae are in removing arsenic from water, analyzing various factors like pH, concentration, and contact time.
  • The optimal conditions for arsenic removal were found to be at pH 4 with a 60-minute contact time, achieving a removal rate of 95.2%.
  • Various analytical methods (FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, DLS, ZP) were used to confirm the biosorption process, along with studies on kinetics, isotherm equilibrium, and thermodynamics to understand the biosorption capacity better.

This study is intended to evaluate the cytotoxicity of native and dual-modified black rice flour against the colon cancer cell line (HCT116) and mouse embryo cell line (3T3-L1) by using the MTT assay. The modification techniques applied to prepare rice flour samples were enzymatic modification and heat moisture treatment. In this study, the IC50 of native black rice flour and modified black rice flour was 255.

Microalgae sorbents are microalgae that have the potential to passively bind heavy metals/contaminants to their cellular structures in a process called biosorption. This study investigates the use of two species of microalgae to remove the toxic heavy metal cobalt from aqueous solution. Two microalgae isolates, Phormidium tenue and Chlorella vulgaris, were collected from the Wadi Hanifah Stream in Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are gaining considerable importance due to their attractive physicochemical properties for many applications. In the present study, (Ag NPs) were synthesized by the reduction of aqueous solutions of silver nitrate (AgNO) with powder and solvent extracts of (brown algae). The obtained nanoparticles exhibited high stability, rapid formation of the biogenic process (2 min -3 h), small size (49.

The hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) poses a threat as a hazardous metal and its removal from aquatic environments through biosorption has gained attention as a viable technology of bioremediation. We evaluated the potential use of three green algae (, and ) dry biomass as a biosorbent to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity of the biomass was determined using batch experiments.

This study aimed to isolate quercetin (for the first time) from Anabaena aequalis Borge, which inhabits soil surface of Wadi El-Alaqui Protectorate located in Aswan city, Egypt. The isolated compound showed significant antibacterial activity against the gram-positive bacteria Sarcina maxima and Micrococcus kristinae, the gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as against the filamentous fungus Aspergillus flavus. The isolated compound was identified as quercetin using the structure elucidation based on UV, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS), (1) H and (13) C NMR, proton-proton correlation spectroscopy ((1) H-(1) H COSY), distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), and heteronuclear multiple bond correlations spectrum (HMBC).
