Isolation, Characterization, Antioxidant, and Wound Healing Activities of Extracellular Polysaccharide from Endophytic Fungus Talaromyces purpureogenus.

In this study, two extracellular polysaccharides (TEPS1 and TEPS2) were isolated from the endophytic fungus (Talaromyces purpureogenus) and purified by DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column using NaCl as gradient eluent. The HPLC analysis displayed that TEPS1 was composed of mannose (38.70%), ribose (25.

Polysaccharides of Weissella cibaria Act as a Prebiotic to Enhance the Probiotic Potential of Lactobacillus rhamnosus.

This work aimed to investigate the effect of EPS (extracellular polysaccharide) of Weissella cibaria as a prebiotic to promote the growth and antibacterial properties of Lactobacillus rhamnosus. The morphological, growth behavior, and antibacterial properties of L. rhamnosus were determined in MRSB (de Man Rogosa Sharpe broth) supplemented with different concentrations of EPS (0.

Combination of Paraconiothyrium brasiliense fabricated titanium dioxide nanoparticle and antibiotics enhanced antibacterial and antibiofilm properties: A toxicity evaluation.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes global consequences through increased mortality and economic loss. Antimicrobial drugs including nanomaterials are an emerging environmental impact. Hence, this work aimed to synthesize and characterize the titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) using the aqueous extract of endophytic fungus Paraconiothyrium brasiliense (Pb) for enhancing the antibacterial efficiency of existing standard antibiotics at minimum concentration.

Synthesis, characterization, and cytotoxicity of starch-encapsulated biogenic silver nanoparticle and its improved anti-bacterial activity.

The present work reported synthesis, characterization, and biocompatibility of starch encapsulated silver nanoparticles (St-PF-AgNPs) and their antibacterial activity. The synthesis of St-PF-AgNPs involved in two steps: (i) synthesis of the biogenic silver nanoparticles using the fungal extracts (PF-AgNPs); and, (ii) encapsulation of starch in PF-AgNPs (St-PF-AgNPs). The surface plasmon resonance was found at 420 nm for the PF-AgNPs while it was at 260 and 420 nm for the St-PF-AgNPs.
