This study examined the structure and properties of ZnO nanoparticles, synthesized using the sol gel method. The nanoparticles showed strong anti-fungal efficacy against Ascochytafabae, a fungus causing blight disease in beans. Important findings include a median diameter in the nanometer range and a band gap energy of 3.22eV.
Garlic and its bioactive compounds have been shown to have antiviral and immunomodulatory properties in poultry, decreasing viral loads, increasing antibody titres, and regulating gene expression. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal dose and administration of garlic for optimal effects.
This research developed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from an endophytic fungus and encapsulated them with chitosan. Optimal conditions for synthesis were determined and the nanoparticles were characterized. Chitosan-coated AgNPs showed antifungal activity against various pathogens.
The study used Parthenium hysterophorus plant extract to create copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). The NPs were characterized using various techniques and found to have potential in remediation of environmental pollution caused by antibiotics.
This study characterizes and explores the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of essential oils from two plants in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco. The oils showed high antioxidant activity, and exhibited bactericidal effects against certain microorganisms. The findings offer insights for potential therapeutic development.
Palladium-doped manganese oxide nanoparticles synthesized using a natural extract show strong antimicrobial activity, offering a potential eco-friendly solution to combat microbial pathogens.
Tridax procumbens (TP) mixed with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was tested for tensile strength. Results show TP/CMC biofilm could be used as wound dressing in medical applications.
Scientists found that basil leaf extract prepared using ethanol and methanol showed strong antimicrobial activity against VRE infections, along with antioxidant properties. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis identified 19 compounds with therapeutic and food applications.
