Cost effective media optimization for PHB production by Bacillus badius MTCC 13004 using the statistical approach.

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has significant potential for replacing non-biodegradable traditional plastic, which is responsible for several global environmental issues. The main problem with switching to bio-based alternatives for petrochemical plastics is the large price gap on the market. To overcome this problem, the present research was focused on the utilization of inexpensive substrates i.

Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Citrus Fruit Juice for Evaluation of Anticancer Activity Against Colo-205 Cell Lines.

The study focused on the medicinal properties of citrus fruits and their ability to synthesize silver nanoparticles. As the resistance against the modern antibiotic agents is on increase, finding new and effective natural antibiotic agents is the need of the modern era. Similarly, bio-synthesis of nanoparticles is also being encouraged for eco-friendly reasons.
