The increase in simultaneous exposure to magnetic fields and other hazardous compounds released from industrial applications poses multiple stress conditions on the ecosystems and public human health. In this work, we investigated the effects of co-exposure to a static magnetic field (SMF) and silver ions (AgNO) on biochemical parameters and antioxidant enzyme activities in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sub-chronic exposure to AgNO (0.

Due to the lack of water resources and the harmful effects of wastewater on environment and human health, treatment of wastewater becomes necessary. The present study explored the effect of musical sounds on the biological treatment of seafood canning wastewater by using Yarrowia lipolytica. Our results showed that low frequency (21 Hz to 1356 Hz) and high frequency (21 Hz to 16,214 Hz) musical sounds stimulated the growth of Y.

Nanocarriers have the potential property to protect the active molecule during drug delivery. Depending on the employing nanosystem, the delivery of drugs and genes has enhanced the bioavailability of the molecule at the disease site and exercised an excellent control of the molecule release.

In the present work, we describe novel green chemistry biosynthesis of AgNPs from AgNO added to cell-free culture medium of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yielding nanoparticles in the range 11-25 nm. However, when yeast was grown in a moderate static magnetic field, AgNPs obtained from the resulting cell-free culture medium, were significantly smaller (2-12 nm) than those obtained without magnetic field.

It is well known that the lack of an effective treatment of tuna wash processing wastewater may pose substantial environmental and public health hazards. The present work investigates the performance of biological treatment of tuna wash processing wastewater (TWPW) by using Yarrowia lipolytica. Under optimized experimental conditions (pH "6.

Their structures were characterized by various spectroscopic methods including IR, NMR ( H, P, C), mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The newly synthesized phosphorus-containing oximes were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) and fungal strains (Candida albicans and Candida glabrata).

High performance liquid chromatography-photo diode array/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-PDA/ESI-MS) assay was used to identify the extract phenolic compounds. Animals received 100 mg of lead acetate/kg of body weight (bw) in the drinking water for a period of 30 days.

After removal of polyphenols, the recovered biophenols were reacted with the magnesium precursor to provide magnesium oxide nanoparticles. In order to confirm the biosynthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles, several analyses were undertaken.
