Integrated adsorption and photocatalytic degradation based removal of ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole antibiotics using Fc@rGO-ZnO nanocomposite in aqueous systems.

Ferrocene functionalized rGO-ZnO nanocomposite was synthesized via the facile hydrothermal method. ZnO was reduced over the 3-dimensional rGO framework (3D-Fc@rGO) using Camellia sinensis extract. The Fc@rGO-ZnO nanocomposite was employed for pharmaceutical degradation (sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and ciprofloxacin (CIP)) in an aqueous solution under UV C light.

Studies on the removal of acid violet 7 dye from aqueous solutions by green ZnO@FeO chitosan-alginate nanocomposite synthesized using Camellia sinensis extract.

In the present study, ZnO-FeO nanoparticles were synthesized using the leaves of Camellia sinensis and immobilized in crosslinked alginate-chitosan polymer beads and tested for their photocatalytic applications. The prepared nanocomposite was used for the simultaneous adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of acid violet 7 (AV7) dye. The optimization of reaction conditions ensured higher dye removal efficacy up to 94.

Draft Genome Sequence of Terrestrial sp. Strain VITNK9, Isolated from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, Exhibiting Antagonistic Activity against Fish Pathogens.

We report the draft genome sequence of sp. strain VITNK9, isolated from a soil sample collected in Vellore District (12.9165°N, 79.

Targeting VEGFR2 protein by marine Streptomyces globosus VITLGK011-derived compound BECA: An in vitro and in silico analysis.

This study investigates the anticancer cytotoxic mechanism of action of benzoyloxy-ethyl-carbamic acid (BECA) produced by Streptomyces globosus VITLGK011. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed that BECA (at IC : 3.12 µg/ml) treatment for 24 h induced apoptosis in 60% of cells.

Isolation, Genomic and Metabolomic Characterization of VITAKN with Quorum Sensing Inhibitory Activity from Southern India.

are among the most promising genera in terms of production ability to biosynthesize a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites with pharmaceutical interest. Coinciding with the increase in genomic sequencing of these bacteria, mining of their genomes for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has become a routine component of natural product discovery. Herein, we describe the isolation and characterization of a VITAKN with quorum sensing inhibitory (QSI) activity that was isolated from southern coastal part of India.
