Green-maturation of Cobalt-Oxide nano-sponges for reinforced bacterial apoptosis

The Practical Utility of Imidazolium Hydrogen Sulfate Ionic Liquid in Fabrication of Lignin-Based Spheres: Structure Characteristic and Antibacterial Activity

“…On the other hand, E. coli bacteria exhibit lipopolysaccharide membrane which protects the external wall of a strain ( Huang et al, 2022 ). It has been proven, that the antibacterial activity is related to the stability and the hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature of examined material as well as the structure of the material ( Saif et al, 2021 ; Zafar et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2022 ). It was noted, while performing zeta potential analysis, that all prepared materials show excellent suspension stability in aqueous solutions in a variety of pH ranges, therefore prepared materials may be suitable for application as antimicrobial agents, especially for gram-positive bacteria.…”

Bioinspired Cobalt Oxide Nanoball Synthesis, Characterization, and Their Potential as Metal Stress Absorbants

“…In the previous reports, it has been observed that heavy-metal stress has shown negative impacts on plants’ vital cellular components and functions such as DNA damage, deformation of plant cells, and difference in cellular redox homeostasis, phytohormone contents, biomass, and yield. − In another report, zinc has shown negative effects including phototoxicity, modulation in abiotic response and physiological parameters, reducing photosynthetic pigment concentration, and reduction in root activity of wheat and other plants. − Although plants have their own defense system against heavy-metal stress to resist the change by cellular exudates, membrane integrity, activating heat shock proteins, metallothioneins, and organic acid within certain limits. , But, in the case of accumulation of heavy metals beyond a threshold and traditional strategies such as fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides, pesticides, use of dietaryfibers, and chelating agents are considered inadequate for coping with heavy-metal stress. Therefore, an exciting nanotechnological method of introducing nanomaterials has revolutionized the process of reducing metal stress to a great extent by absorbed heavy metals, reducing stress and enhancing the plant growth without any lethal effects. − Nanotechnology is an emerging technique that is recounting its role in the agricultural field . Nanoparticles, when applied to crop plants, significantly increase the growth of plants under unfavorable environmental circumstances by triggering numerous physiological and biochemical mechanisms occurring in plants. − The small size, active movement, condensed surface area, slow-release, and higher rate of uptake make nanomaterials a good applicant as compared to outdated chemical processes. , It was detected that less mediation of NPs is mandatory that gives marked results when applied on plants as related to common salts.…”

Synthesis of Cu-doped 2D-WS2 nanosheet-based nano-antibiotic materials for inhibiting E. Coli and S. aureus bacterial strains

“…The main advantages of the hybrid materials are that they can easily be tuned according to the application, improved biocompatibility, and improved efficacy. [28][29][30] The WS 2 layer might be suitable for metal and metal-oxide substrate materials. In this context, incorporating metals and their oxides within the WS 2 layer based hybrid materials might become promising materials for controlling infectious diseases.…”
