Investigation of Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in 0.5 M HSO with Inhibitor Extracted from Rotten Grapefruits (): Adsorption, Thermodynamic, Electrochemical, and Quantum Chemical Studies.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel (MS) was studied using isolate in 0.5 M HSO, which was isolated from rotten grapes () via biofilm formation. Biofilm over the MS surface was asserted by employing FT-IR and FE-SEM with EDXS, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), AFM, and DFT-ESP techniques.

Antimicrobial efficacy of drug blended biosynthesized colloidal gold nanoparticles from Justicia glauca against oral pathogens: A nanoantibiotic approach.

Antimicrobial resistance is a challenging task for researchers to develop new strategies. Green synthesis of AuNPs is an eco-friendly approach, which can be utilized in the microbistatic and microbicidal activities. The current study is focused on Justicia glauca (aqueous leaf extract) mediated AuNPs synthesis at room temperature by treating chloroaurate ions, that shows an antagonistic effect with Azithromycin (AZM) and Clarithromycin (CLR) antibiotics against oral pathogenic bacteria and fungi (Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans).
