“…The fraction between the intensity of the (111) plane higher than the (200), (220), and (311) diffraction peaks. Intensity of the (111) facets for the very sharp diffraction peak at 38.19°is considered for the face centered cubic structure [33]. The (111) facet is extremely reactive and stable due to high rate of electron transfer.…”

The synthesis of biogenic nanoparticles from non-chemical resources has increased the drive toward understanding infection biology. Accordingly, we aimed to address the symbiotic antibiofilm effect of biogenic copper and zinc oxide nanoparticles with antimicrobials against multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) at the range from 2 to 128 lg/ml was calculated against Grampositive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria using a broth dilution method. Both nanoparticles have prime antibacterial activity compared with standard antibiotics (excluding against P.aeruginosa MTCC 741). A qualitative assessment of biofilm formation and collegial effect was performed using a modified test tube and the microtiter plate-based method by measuring the optical density and time kill of nanoparticles. The results demonstrated efficient antibiofilm activity of CuNPs in its lowest concentration than ZnONPs and antibiotics itself. In addition, significant enhancing antibiofilm effect was also shown by CuNPs in the presence of third generation antibiotics against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was used to investigate the effect of the nanoparticles on morphological changes of Staphylococcus aureus. Current data highlights, biogenic CuNPs and ZnONPs could be used as an adjuvant for antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections.

“…Comparing to other MNPs, copper NPs (Cu and CuO NPs) preparation was more achievable with advantages of less cost than gold (Au) and silver (Ag) NPs [13]. Similar to other noble MNPs, Cu NPs showed excellent electrical [14] and thermal conductivity [15] and antimicrobial activities [16][17][18][19].…”

In nanotechnology, using of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has obtained major attention for over a century because of their unique properties in nano scale. In this paper, the effect of three factors (incubation time, concentrations of copper sulfate and glucose) on the biosynthesis of copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) by Halomonas elongata IBRC-M 10214 and the antibacterial activity of nanoparticles were evaluated. Experiment design and analysis of Taguchi method were carried out by Qualitek-4 software. Effect of CuSO4 concentration (1.4, 2.8 and 5.6 mM), incubation time (48, 72 and 96 h) as three different levels was measured as three major factors in the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles. Synthesized CuO nanoparticles were characterized by utilizing ultraviolet-visible (UVVis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) techniques. Among the three factors, results illustrated that considerable effect was related to CuSO 4 concentration. These analyses demonstrated that the average CuO nanoparticles crystalline size was 57-79 nm with rectangular shape. Also, for evaluating of antibacterial effects, maximum zone of inhibition, two important multidrug resistant pathogenesis bacteria, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 were used. Antibacterial assay of CuO nanoparticles showed antibacterial activity toward the pathogenic bacterial strains of E. coli by 5 mm and S. aureus by 5.5 mm for maximum zone of inhibition. In conclusion, this study presented simple, low expensive, eco-friendly and high productivity in the fabrication of CuO nanoparticles. In addition, these metallic nanoparticles had antibacterial effect that could be usable in medicinal aspect for fighting against prominent pathogen bacteria such as E. coli ATCC 25922 and S. aureus ATCC 43300.

“…Antimicrobial activity of CuNPs against fungal strains such as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Candida albicans and bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was observed by Ramyadevi et al [152]. As copper is a micronutrient of crops, plants will take up any excess NPs, and furthermore, excess NPs can be detoxified naturally by the benign fungi that are present in the roots of plants [153,154].…”

Nanoagrochemicals, such as nanopesticides, nanofertilizers or plant growth stimulating nanosystems, were primarily designed to increase solubility, enhance bioavailability, targeted delivery, controlled release and/or protection against degradation resulting in the reduced amount of applied active ingredients and finally in a decrease of dose-dependent toxicity/burden. This paper is a comprehensive up-to-date review related to the preparation and the biological activity of nanoformulations enabling gradual release of active ingredient into weeds and the body of pests and controlled release of nutrients to plants. The attention is also devoted to the decrease of direct environmental burden and economic benefits due to application of nanoformulations, where less amount of active ingredient is needed to achieve the same biological effect in comparison with bulk. The application of nanotechnology in the areas such as food packaging, food security, encapsulation of nutrients and development of new functional products is analysed. The use of nanoparticles in biosensors for detection of pathogens and contaminants as well as in DNA and gene delivery is discussed as well. Benefits and health risks of nanoagrochemicals are highlighted, and special attention is given to nanoecotoxicology and guidelines and regulatory documents related to the use of nanoformulations in agriculture and food industry.
