Background: Antibiotic resistance in various microorganisms has become one of the most serious health problems worldwide. The use of nanoparticles in combination with conventional antibiotics is one of the recent efforts to overcome these challenges. This study aims to synthesize and evaluate the possibility of using amikacin-loaded selenium nanoparticles as antibacterial agent against multidrug-resistant , that causes bovine mastitis.

The effects of 5.8-GHz microwave (MW) irradiation on the synthesis of mesoporous selenium nanoparticles (mSeNPs) in aqueous medium by reduction of selenite ions with ascorbic acid, using zinc nanoparticles as a hard template and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a micellar template, are examined for the first time with a particular emphasis on MW-particle interactions and the NPs morphology. This MW-assisted synthesis is compared to 2.

The removal of selenite (Se(IV)) and cadmium (Cd(II)) from low-carbon wastewater presents significant challenges. However, the addition of external organic carbon sources is limited in application due to the high cost and potential for secondary pollution. This study introduced a "hibernation-like microbial survival strategy", enabling efficient removal of Se(IV) and Cd(II) in sulfur autotrophic reactor, with S acting as the electron donor.

Effect of combination of polyphenols, polysaccharide, and sodium selenite on bortezomib anti-cancer action.

Int J Biol Macromol

December 2024

Nanopolymeric Drug Delivery Lab, Department of Pharmacy, School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, Central University of Rajasthan, Bandarsindri, Ajmer, Rajasthan 305817, India. Electronic address:

Combinatorial drug delivery has shown promising results over single drug for cancer therapy. Here, we aimed to explore combination of proteasome inhibitor; bortezomib (BTZ) with natural antioxidants (AOs); polyphenols like caffeic acid (CFA), resveratrol (RES), fucoidan (FD), and synthetic AO; sodium selenite (NaSeO) for cellular cytotoxicity in breast cancer cell lines; MCF-7 and MDA MB-231. The combination of RES + BTZ, FD + BTZ, and NaSeO + BTZ showed synergism while CFA showed antagonism with BTZ.

Thermophilic anaerobic ethane oxidation coupled with selenate and selenite reduction.

Bioresour Technol

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Urban Water Resource and Environment, School of Environment, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150090, China. Electronic address:

Anaerobic microorganisms are critical in regulating ethane in geothermal environments, where selenate and selenite are common contaminants. Although coupling ethane oxidation with selenate reduction has been demonstrated as feasible, such processes remain poorly explored in geothermal environments. This study addressed this gap by successfully enriching thermophilic anaerobic cultures capable of coupling ethane oxidation with selenate/selenite reduction, achieving selenate and selenite removal rate of 2.
