The bactericidal effect of colloidal solutions of silver nanoparticles based on food stabilizers, gum arabic and chitosan, against bacterial cultures of microorganisms in food production is described. The antibacterial activity of nanotechnology products containing different amounts of stabilizing additives when applied to solid pH-neutral substrates is studied. For its evaluation a method making it possible to take into account the capability of nanoparticles to diffuse in solid media was applied. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of nanoparticles used against Erwinia herbicola, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Sarcina flava were found. A suggestion was made concerning the influence of the spatial structure of bacteria on the antibacterial activity of colloidal solutions of silver nanoparticles. The data concerning the antibacterial activity and minimal inhibiting concentrations of nanoparticles may be used for development of products suppressing activity of microorganisms hazardous for food production.

Background: Foodborne pathogens, particularly Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) found in seafood, pose significant health risks, including abdominal pain, nausea, and even death. Rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection of these pathogens is crucial for food safety and public health. However, existing detection methods often require complex sample pretreatment, which limits their practical application.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a vital anthracycline chemotherapeutic drug, yet presenting significant challenges due to its severe cardiotoxicity. While Doxil enhances the pharmacokinetics and reduces the cardiotoxicity of DOX solution (DOX sol), it shows limitations of low drug loading capacity and inadequate cellular uptake. To overcome these issues, this study developed a novel disulfide bond-linked DOX-maleimide prodrug (DSSM).

Developing advanced heterogeneous catalysts through structural modifications effectively enhances the catalytic activity of non-homogeneous catalysts for removing emerging micropollutants (EMPs). In this study, MoTiCT@Co with Mo vacancies was synthesized using the Lewis molten salt method, which efficiently activates peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and continuously degrades EMPs in water. The abundant Mo vacancy structure in the material acts as an anchoring site for Co nanoparticles and a co-catalytic site for Fenton-like reactions, enabling PMS adsorption and activation.

Applicable to convert soluble U(VI) into the less mobile U(IV) form, the photocatalytic process is widely regarded as an efficient solution to uranium pollution. In the present study, BiOI/g-CN (BICN) composites were produced through uncomplicated hydrothermal synthesis, followed by U(VI) photocatalytic reduction. Batch experiments were conducted to demonstrate the exceptional capability of BICN to address uranium contamination.

Guiding molecular assembly of peptides into rationally engineered nanostructures remains a major hurdle against the development of functional peptide-based nanomaterials. Various non-covalent interactions come into play to drive the formation and stabilization of these assemblies, of which electrostatic interactions are key. Here, the atomistic mechanisms by which electrostatic interactions contribute toward controlling self-assembly and lateral association of ultrashort β-sheet forming peptides are deciphered.
