Silver nanoparticles improve the fungicidal properties of Rhazya stricta decne aqueous extract against plant pathogens.

One of the most promising, non-toxic, and biocompatible developments for many biological activities is the green synthesis of nanoparticles from plants. In this work, we investigated the antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) biosynthesized from Rhazya stricta aqueous extract against several plant pathogenic fungi. UV-visible spectroscopy, Zeta potential analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmitted electron microscopy (TEM) were used to analyze the biosynthesized AgNPs.

The Antifungal Properties of Extract against Some Plant Pathogenic Fungi.

Tamarix aphylla is a Saudi herb, which possesses antimicrobial properties and potentially introduces a solution to the subsequent dilemma caused by agrochemicals and antifungal misuse. The current study aimed to assess the fungicidal properties of water and ethanolic extracts of T. aphylla leaves against Macrophomina phaseolina, Curvularia spicifera, and Fusarium spp.

Biodegradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons by Isolated from Contaminated Soil in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Currently, the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons employs microbial biosurfactants because of their public acceptability, biological safety, and low cost. These organisms can degrade or detoxify organic-contaminated areas, such as marine ecosystems. The current study aimed to test the oil-biodegradation ability of the fungus , which was isolated from contaminated soil samples in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Antimicrobial Activity of Green Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Different Extracts from the Leaves of Saudi Palm Tree ( L.).

The Arabian desert is rich in different species of medicinal plants, which approved variable antimicrobial activities. L. is one of the medical trees rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids.

Comparative study of antifungal activity of two preparations of green silver nanoparticles from extract.

The green silver nanoparticles (green AgNPs) exhibit an exceptional antimicrobial property against different microbes, including bacteria and fungi. The current study aimed to compare the antifungal activities of both the crude aqueous extract of or different preparations of green AgNPs biosynthesized by mixing that aqueous extract with silver nitrate (AgNO). Two preparations of the green AgNPs were synthesized either by mixing the aqueous extract of  with silver nitrate (AgNO) (normal AgNPs) or either irradiation of the AgNPs, previously prepared, under Co γ-ray using chitosan (gamma-irradiated AgNPs).

Evaluation of anticandidal activities and phytochemical examination of extracts prepared from Vitex agnus-castus: a possible alternative in treating candidiasis infections.

Background: Candidiasis infection is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Fungicidal resistance of some commercially used fungicides ascended the need for a naturally effective alternative. The current study aimed to evaluate the fungicidal activity of Vitex agnus-castus extracts in vitro against some Candida species.

The Antimicrobial Activities of Silver Nanoparticles from Aqueous Extract of Grape Seeds against Pathogenic Bacteria and Fungi.

Grape seed extract (GSE) is a natural source of polyphenolic compounds and secondary metabolites, which have been tested for their possible antimicrobial activities. In the current study, we tested the antibacterial and antifungal activities of aqueous GSE and the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles loaded with GSE (GSE-AgNPs) against different pathogens. The biosynthesized GSE-AgNPs were assessed by UV spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using and their antifungal activity.

Cheeseweed mallow ( L.) was used to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were classified by UV-vis Spectroscopy and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Antimicrobial Potential of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles by Extract.

The green biosynthesis of nanoparticles by plant extracts is an attractive and promising technique for medicinal applications. In the current study, we chose one of the daisy plants, (which grows in the Najd region, Saudi Arabia), to investigate its anti-microbial efficacy, in combination with silver nanoparticles. The biosynthesized nanoparticles were evaluated for antibacterial activity against (Gram-positive), and (Gram-negative) using the disc diffusion method, while the antifungal activity was assessed against The potential phytoconstituents of the plant extracts were identified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques, the Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques, and Zeta potential analysis.

Involvement of redox status and the nuclear-related factor 2 in protecting against cadmium-induced renal injury with Sana Makki (Cassia senna L.) pre-treatment in male rats.

This study was designed to investigate the potential defensive strategy of Sana Makki extract (SME) against Cd-induced in vivo nephrotoxicity and its underlying mechanisms. Male albino rats were used in a thirty days study comparing control, SME-treated, CdCl2-treated, and combined SME and Cd treatment. Pre-treatment with SME significantly reduced serum kidney biomarkers (urea and creatinine), the concentration of renal KIM-1, and kidney index values.
