Sunlight-active phytol-ZnO@TiO nanocomposite for photocatalytic water remediation and bacterial-fouling control in aquaculture: A comprehensive study on safety-level assessment.

With a growing consciousness of the importance of nature stewardship, researchers are focusing their efforts on utilizing renewable energy, particularly solar energy, to address environmental concerns. In this context, photocatalysis has long been viewed as one of the most promising cleaning methods. Hence, we have prepared a sunlight-active phytol-assisted ZnO-TiO nanocomposite (PZTN) for photocatalytic bacterial deactivation and dye degradation process.

In vitro and in vivo exploration of palmitic acid from Synechococcus elongatus as an antibiofilm agent on the survival of Artemia franciscana against virulent vibrios.

Biofilm formation of Vibrio spp. has been demonstrated as a potentially important mechanism contributing antibiotic treatment failure in aquaculture. In the present study, the effect of palmitic acid (PA) identified from Synechococcus elongatus was assessed for the inhibition of quorum sensing (QS) regulated biofilm formation in aquatic bacterial pathogens.
