Introduction: Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have drawn a lot of interest among researchers because of their distinct impact on antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory tests, antibacterial activity, and in the treatment of various diseases. A. linearis has shown great findings in biomedical applications because of its physio-chemical compounds such as Aspalathin, orientin, and isoorientin.

Due to their carcinogenic properties and low biodegradability, dye degradation is a considerable danger to people, animals, and the oceanic environment. As part of this study, leaf extract was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize zinc nanoparticles and degrade dyes such as methyl red and eosin.

Further, the toxicological effects of the CuS were evaluated using zebrafish as an animal model. The primary step of the synthesis was carried out by adding the precursor copper sulfates to the culture supernatant of .

In this present study, the green synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles using the king of bitter herbal plant was synthesized and characterized using XRD, SEM, HRTEM, AFM, and antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities. The size of the particles HRTEM shows 50 nm, and SEM shows the spherical shape, which reveals the synthesis of TiO nanoparticles.

This study aimed to investigate the biodegradation potential of MG by actinobacteria. The potent actinobacterial strain S20 used in this study was isolated from forest soil (Sabarimala, Kerala, India) and identified as Streptomyces chrestomyceticus based on phenotype and molecular features.
