Enhanced biocatalytic laccase production using agricultural waste in solid-state fermentation by Aspergillus oryzae for p-chlorophenol degradation.

Agricultural residues are one of the most cost-effective and readily accessible carbon resources for producing commercially significant enzymes. Several enzymes have been used in different industries like pharmaceuticals, foods, textiles, and dyes that can be generated by various species of microbes found in waste from agriculture. The current research investigated laccase production by Aspergillus oryzae utilizing agricultural wastes.

Biogenic synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles mediated from Borassus flabellifer (Linn): antioxidant, antimicrobial activity against clinical pathogens, and photocatalytic degradation activity with molecular modeling.

Borassus flabellifer leaf extract has been used for rapid biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) due to rich source of bioactive compounds. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were preliminarily confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy adsorption peak range at 365 nm. The XRD (X-ray diffraction) confirms purity of ZnO-NPs that were crystalline in nature.

Green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles mediated from Ceropegia bulbosa Roxb extract and its cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, mosquitocidal and photocatalytic activities.

The present study is to design an eco-friendly mode to rapidly synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) through Ceropegia bulbosa tuber's aqueous extracts and confirming SeNPs synthesis by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM-EDS mapping, HR-TEM, DLS and zeta potential analysis. In addition, to assess the anti-cancer efficacy of the SeNPs against the cultured MDA-MB-231, as studies have shown SeNPs biosynthesis downregulates the cancer cells when compared to normal HBL100 cell lines. The study observed the IC value of SeNPs against MDA-MB-231 cells was 34 µg/mL for 48 h.

Novel strategy for biodegradation of 4-nitrophenol by the immobilized cells of sp YPS3 with Acacia gum.

The mass organic compound 4-nitrophenol with low molecular is involved in many chemicals processes and most common organic pollutants. 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) existing in soils and water bodies, thereby causing severe environmental impact and health risk. Even low concentrations are harmful to health and potential mutagenic and carcinogenic.

Identification and characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa derived bacteriocin for industrial applications.

Drug resistance has become a major threat due to the frequent use of commercial antibiotics and there is an urgent need to combat this problem. Having this in mind, the present research was aimed at developing a novel P. aeruginosa puBac bacteriocin molecule.

Novel preparation of fungal conidiophores biomass as adsorbent for removal of phosphorus from aqueous solution.

The present study focused on phosphorus adsorption by novel fungal conidiophores biomass in aqueous solution. Fungal Conidiophores biomass was prepared from the fungal strains Aspergillus oryzae (YFK) and Fusarium oxysporum (YVS2). The functional groups and morphology of Conidiophores Biomass (CB) from these strains were characterized by FTIR and SEM.

Nanoparticles from Actinobacteria: A Potential Target to Antimicrobial Therapy.

Nanoparticles have gained significant importance in the past two decades, due to their multifaceted applications in the field of nanomedicine. As our ecosystems and habitats are changing due to global warming, many new diseases are emerging continuously. Treating these costs a lot of money and mostly ends up in failure.
