Published: August 2014

Cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were treated with PEF to improve simultaneous accumulation of magnesium and zinc ions in the biomass. The results showed that the ions concentration in the medium and their mutual interactions affect accumulation in cells. Increasing the concentration of one ion in the medium reduced the accumulation of the second one, in the control as well as in the cells treated with PEF. Under optimized conditions, that is, on 15 min exposure of the 20 h grown culture to PEF of 5.0 kV/cm and 20 μs pulse width, accumulation of magnesium and zinc in yeast biomass reached maximum levels of 2.85 and 11.41 mg/gd.m., respectively, To summarize, optimization of ion pair concentration and PEF parameters caused a 1.5 or 2-fold increase of magnesium and zinc accumulation, respectively, in S. cerevisiae.

Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) is distinguished by its exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability, qualities attributed to its similarity to the mineral component of human bone. This review discusses the synthesis techniques of nHA, highlighting how these methods shape its physicochemical attributes and, in turn, its utility in biomedical applications. The versatility of nHA is further enhanced by doping with biologically significant ions like magnesium or zinc, which can improve its bioactivity and confer therapeutic properties.

We present a novel method for preparing bioactive and biomineralized calcium phosphate (mCP)-loaded biopolymer composite scaffolds with a porous structure. Two types of polymers were investigated as matrices: one natural, cellulose acetate (CA), and one synthetic, polycaprolactone (PCL). Biomineralized calcium phosphate particles were synthesized via wet chemical precipitation, followed by the addition of organic biominerals, such as magnesium gluconate and zinc gluconate, to enhance the bioactivity of the pure CP phase.
