The present study was conducted to biosynthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) by an estuarine associated actinobacterium Streptomyces spp., characterized its spectral features and also determined its biomedical properties. At first, ZnONPs were synthesized by actinobacterial-mediated reduction of zinc oxide metal and then, it was characterized by following standard methodologies.

Bio-surfactants are a principal group of significant molecules obtained from the microbial sources expressed with distinctive characteristics like biodegradation of hydrocarbons and also have different biomedical properties. The present investigation aims to assess the biomedical properties of synthesized bio-surfactant, rhamnolipid from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DKB1) under in vitro conditions. The candidate bacterium P.

The present investigation was carried out to determine the bio-properties and antioxidant potential of native carrageenan from Kappaphycus alvarezii in comparison with commercial carrageenan under laboratory conditions in Wistar albino rats. In acute toxic study, no toxicity was observed in rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg of both carrageenans, hence three different doses (500, 750 and 1000 mg/kg) of native and commercial carrageenans were selected individually for in vivo antioxidant study in rats. The result revealed that, in both native and commercial carrageenans tested animals, the antioxidant enzymes CAT (36.

This study deals with the open pond (OP) pilot scale treatment of cassava effluent and enhancement of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) enzyme through CO utilization by the microalga, RDS01. The cassava effluent treatment (ET) revealed maximum reduction of ammonia (96.8%), calcium (94.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the biosynthesis, molecular modeling and statistical optimization of xylanase production through Box-Behnken design by a mangrove associated actinobacterium Streptomyces variabilis (MAB3). Initially, the production of xylanase by the selected strain was carried through submerged fermentation using birchwood xylan as substrate. Further the xylanase production was statistically optimized through Box-Behnken design.

Pharmacological properties of native carrageenan (κ) extracted from Kappaphycus alvarezii and commercial carrageenan (Sigma-Aldrich) were evaluated using in vitro antioxidant, anticancer and antidiabetic studies. Phytochemical analysis of native and commercial carrageenans showed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, steroids, gums & mucilages and carbohydrate. Both native and commercial carrageenans exhibited better antioxidant activities such as total antioxidant capacity (87±0.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the xylanolytic properties of an actinobacterium Streptomyces olivaceus (MSU3) isolated from the sediment sample of mangrove environment. It showed highest xylanase activity on initial screening in Breg's mineral salts medium supplemented with 0.5% xylan.
