Larvicidal potential, antimicrobial properties and molecular docking analysis of Egyptian Mint (Mentha rotundifolia) against Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae) and Midgut-borne Staphylococcus aureus.

Mosquitoes prefer stagnant areas near hospitals to live and easily spread pathogenic bacteria. Our current study aims to isolate multidrug-resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus aureus isolates from midguts of Mosquito Culex pipiens and study the potential of mint as a biocontrol strategy against C. pipiens larvae and their midgut-borne S.

Biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles from Punica granatum (pomegranate) peel waste and its application to inhibit foodborne pathogens.

Polyphenolics have been predicted to effectively develop antimicrobial agents for the food industry as food additives and promote human health. This study aims to synthesize pomegranate peel extract (PPE) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against eight foodborne pathogens. Multispectroscopic analysis of UV-vis spectroscopy, Zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were used to characterize the interaction between PPE and AgNPs.

Optimizing alpha-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on bread waste for effective industrial wastewater treatment and textile desizing through response surface methodology.

Food waste is a major issue, with one-third of food wasted yearly. This study aimed to produce sustainably the industrial enzyme alpha-amylase using discarded bread waste. Brown (BBW) and white bread waste (WBW) were tested as growth substrates using solid-state and submerged fermentation.

Larvicidal potential, toxicological assessment, and molecular docking studies of four Egyptian bacterial strains against Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae).

Mosquito control in Egypt depends on applying chemical synthetic pesticides that impact negatively on human health and the environment as well as the development of antibiotic and chemical resistance. This study aims to control the 3rd and 4th instars of Culex pipiens larvae using four bacterial strains. According to Phenotypic and molecular identification, the four isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis MICUL D2023, Serratia marcescens MICUL A2023, Streptomyces albus LARVICID, and Pseudomonas fluorescens MICUL B2023.

Utilization of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from Agaricus bisporus extract for food safety application: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial efficacy, and toxicological assessment.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in foodborne bacterial pathogens has raised significant concerns in the food industry. This study explores the antimicrobial potential of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from Agaricus bisporus (Mushroom) against foodborne bacterial pathogens. The biosynthesized AgNPs were characterized using various techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential analysis.

Potentiating Biosynthesis of Alkaloids and Polyphenolic Substances in Plant Using ĸ-Carrageenan.

is a medicinal plant that produces indole alkaloids, which are utilized in anticancer therapy. Vinblastine and vincristine, two commercially important antineoplastic alkaloids, are mostly found in the leaves of . ĸ-carrageenan has been proven as plant growth promoting substance for a number of medicinal and agricultural plants.

Faba beans with enhanced antioxidant activity ameliorate acetic acid-induced colitis in experimental rats.

Faba beans are among the legumes that are of the greatest importance due to their high nutritional value. In addition to the essential nutrients that faba beans contain, they also contain bioactive compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids that are considered as potent natural antioxidants. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease in which oxidative stress plays an essential role in the pathophysiology.

Microbial Degradation, Spectral analysis and Toxicological Assessment of Malachite Green Dye by .

Malachite green (MG) dye is a common environmental pollutant that threatens human health and the integrity of the Earth's ecosystem. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential biodegradation of MG dye by actinomycetes species isolated from planted soil near an industrial water effluent in Cairo, Egypt. The isolate St 45 was selected according to its high efficiency for laccase production.

Exogenous Paclobutrazol Reinforces the Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Lavender L.) Oil through Modulating Its Composition of Oxygenated Terpenes.

Plant growth regulators can affect the primary and secondary metabolites of various plant species. However, the effect of paclobutrazol (PBZ) on the composition of lavender oil, especially related to the terpenoid pathway, is still unclear in literatures. In this study, the effect of PBZ as a foliar spray (0.

Effect of pH on growth and biochemical responses of Dunaliella bardawil and Chlorella ellipsoidea.

The goal of the present investigation was to study the effect of pH on growth and biochemical responses of Dunaliella bardawil and Chlorella ellipsoidea when exposed to different pH values. The two tested microalgae could grow in a wide range of pH (4-9 for D. bardawil and 4-10 for C.

Post-chemotherapy residual mass in non-seminomatous testicular cancer. The role of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

Purpose: To determine the role of RPLND for residual masses following chemotherapy in patients with non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) stage T1N2 and T1N3 (IIB and IIC).

Materials And Methods: We have preformed retrospective analysis of 11 patients who underwent RPLND for residual masses following chemotherapy in an oncologic reference center between January 1997 and December 2002. All patients harbored either pure nonseminomatous or mixed tumors in the testis tissue and had undergone 4 cycles of primary chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin.
